The clouds, they go their way With indifference to us A melancholy light The ghost of Summer past The moon relieves the sun Across the evening sky And here we come undone And here we say goodbye
The whispers in the bough Are but rumours on the wind This love was never ours And yet we took it in The headstones mark the lost Erased by time and tide Ashes cast to sea Blow back as memories
Take the last kiss from my lips Take the last look at my face And then surrender all we have Or I will never walk away
