Saturday

The taxi lights were in your eyes So warm against st marys spires The carnival was over in the rain And arm in arm through vincent street The evening hanging like a dream I touched your face and saw the night again And in your arms i watched the stars Ascend and sweep a loneliness away for a while Your fingers white and locked in mine I kiss your face i kiss your eyes until They turn to me and softly smile And empty hearted i walked on The river flowing to the song Of the evening in the darkness and the rain The christmas lights were far down stream The wind so lonely and unreal I saw your face and i thought you were a dream But when i saw your eyes what could i do? What could i say, my love? Your kisses they will hide away the stars Its Saturday, the evening's come The football crowds have all gone home But still behind this window i look on December's leaves so slowly fall To cars that break the evening's pall And i will wait for you to come tonight
