lyrics

In a bright west end cathedral. We watched the crowning of a king. We heard the psalms of a brave world. The dark ones they called the greys.

The faded glamour of a ballroom. East end colder than a grave. We, the few that fought the weather. Your arms raised and mine around your waist.

Now that we are strangers here and everything has changed. The avenue that once we owned, it still bears the names. Set upon the sandstone, a shrine to what we leave. That dear green place was kind to us.

Then we were careless. Fools, they can dream. Now we are wiser, but harder to please.

Recall where you were when you first heard the roar. Of fifteen long winters and fourteen before. Remember the strains of that voice through the kitchen door.
