Beautiful skyline, reads like a story
Under the scarlet Texaco sign.
A perfect summer slipped through our fingers
Under the weight of October skies
Now this time I'll hold you closer,
Now this time you won't let go!
The wind was humming like distant voices
That part of the night when words lose their power
My only chance to say what I wanted
Under the weight of that final hour
Now this time I'll hold you closer,
Now this time you won't let go!
Now this time I'll hold you closer,
Now this time you won't let go!
Beautiful skyline, feathers and wishbones
I heard you say it, then it was gone!
