The very second time I walked in this room

You knew that I was gone

And just the way the sun slanted in

Made it all seem wrong

I know you say you love me

And somewhere I think that you do

I love all the tricks you've shown me

I'll cut myself in two



It's coming on again



So I saw the newspaper that had burnt in the fire

The headlines were rain

Go walk outside and clear my head

Down on Albion Lane

I know you live around here somewhere

As I scan the sky

I know that you sleep around here somewhere

Where it's warm and dry



On saturday afternoon the crowds rolled in clouds

Ignored the rumors of war

We drink a toast to auld lang syne

Stretched out on the floor

I know you'll never remember

And it's better that way

Let this wine take your memory

Of everything before today
