Mostly Autumn - Gla** Shadows lyrics

Half the night I drove alone Catching silhouettes in headlights, thinking… I parked beneath the chalk white horse Above the tree line, the city glowed And the candles moved in time With the moon as she died And the earth span round To meet the blood red sun A fair leaves town Just a mess on the gra** The echo of a shadow falls A taste of autumn past We walked the misty lantern light The cobbles damp and cold I caught a glimpse of yesteryear From the house I knew before The crashing seas and thunder Catch the moonlight in their rage The haunted winter gales that scream Across the Abbey in Whitby town I swear I saw the black Armadas Tearing in towards the land A thousand wordless voices echo Carried on the heavy wind Oh, just a little more time To stay a little longer I walked the empty aerodrome Cracked and overgrown We used to scout for UFOs Our backs against the stone The eerie drone of foreign bombers Black against the mantle clouds The spilling sun and shards of gold Rust across the bluebell wood I never saw a brighter star Reflected in the spectre's face We ran so fast we didn't breathe And never dared go back again Oh, just a little more time To say goodbye We're so tired but we're beautiful Reaching out to the unknown Until our shadows freeze so cold they crack And all the dreams we didn't breathe Our spirits screaming out to leave The way you held my hand The days we moved so close begin to fade Lost in time The gla** was always full you know The first kiss lingers with me still To never see her face again To never walk with her again The heart we shared The life we were The second hand that cuts the thread There's nowhere left to run, to hide We sleep, we wake, we love, we die
