That all could gather

That we could marry

Still

Faces absent

That she could see this

As if time hovered

That he'd caress him

That jars and lads and Carol Ann were



Shouts from brilliant corners

Word 'n tears confused

Sparks long sky bound

Long sky bound



Had I been wiser

And not so bleedin'

Still geezer poet

Wine cross the lips flow

Love through eyes goes

That he'd embrace him

That jars and lads and Carol Ann were



That all could gather

That we could marry

Still

Faces absent

That she could see this

As if time hovered

That he'd caress him

That jars and lads and Carol Ann were

Set by the bar so tender
