Souvenir (1979) Lyrics

From the CD of Sides, also b-side of Um & Arrgh]

There was once a man he met

Who walked in fields of silk and burr, so light

And then the darkness came upon me

I woke, I could not see her face

Her voice across dark waters stole

Please turn on the light, it's growing cold

She was once my lady friend

I loved her countless times before, so light

Then the darkness crept upon her

I woke, I could not hear her voice

She left no sign or souvenir

Please turn on the light, it's cold in here

Something tells me we burned out all our boats

Setting sail upon storm-ridden sea

And putting faith in the gods of ancient times

I had believed we could be strong and supine

She was like a breath of light oh

She fell like the chesnut leaf

[John Hackett flute solo]

So the moons rise slowly now

In swirling mists I dimly see God leave

Trapped in calm, left her no darkness

Still as then, I cannot see her face

Her voice is still accosting me

Please turn out the lights, the last to leave
