He was lying in the half light

Of christmas and glasgow

Thinking and talking

Talking to st enoch about

Christmas and glasgow

Drinking and talking



And the sweet smell

Of the kelvin hall circus

And the sweet smell lingered

Of her perfume and kisses



He needed to take one step

He was taking one step back



She knows the only danger

Of christmas and glasgow

Is you love too much

And she's thinking of years

At christmas and glasgow

When it meant too much



And walking in frost

Down in cowcaddens

And the sweet smell

As they were lost in the garden



She needed to take one step

She was taking one step back



They could hear choirs, those heavenly choirs

Choirs of angels, those heavenly choirs



They needed to take one step

They were taking one step back
