Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember all those scenes of amber lace
As the morning shadows tip-toed from your face
And old Saint Paul was found
Her prayer lights cried to ya
[Verse 2]
Flutterings of heartbeats in the air
The way the sweeping of the cool breeze flicked your hair
And though I played it down
My eyes were tied to ya
[Verse 3]
And you played like toe to toe
Down the streets to Waterlow
Didn't ya?
[Verse 4]
And the city all fell still
As the breast of Highgate Hill
Held us so
[Verse 5]
Our child-like nets were taught
Waving at the skies
You say that love would fly to meet ya
And, oh, love
Turn like a collared thief
Rose, and kissed your eyes
Those butterflies
[Verse 6]
A gentlemanly spirit in the glade
Reading books below the cemetery shade
I said I knew him well
Oh, baby, I liked him
[Verse 7]
'Cause it pulls you from above
Like a puppet strung by love
Don't it, babe?
[Verse 8]
Oh, I can see them still
All those ghosts of Highgate Hill
Dancing by
[Verse 9]
And they shot out, well, Lord, at least we tried
[Verse 10]
Our child-like nets were taught
Waving at the skies
You say that love would fly to meet ya
And, oh, love
Turn like a collared thief
Rose, and kissed your eyes
[Verse 11]
Oh, autumn was wild lately
But leaves you beautifully still
Had you in my arms, but and let it go
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 12]
And ain't it cold on your skin?
When the one you loved is flame light to the wind
[Verse 13]
Our child-like nets were taught
Waving at the skies
You say that love would fly to meet ya
And, oh, love
Turned like a collared thief
Rose, and kissed your eyes
[Verse 14]
And, oh, love
Turn like a collared thief
Rose, and kissed your eyes
All those butterflies
