I saw you there on the street
Three years before I was born
It's crazy how one thought can change your day
Now I'm a lifetime away
And my dad was so young
I walk down the same street
But I'm a little bit more lonely
Outside of the Ballroom
Playing Victorialand like a movie scene
I remember the time who dares wins
And all of the people we lost along the way
How I used to flinch when you were near me
My cupid's bow
My widow's peak
My shy boy sensitivity
And the glory dancing on your skin
How every promise was a lie
But you knew how to pull me back in
Do you ever think about me when you're alone?
Soaking into a new composition
Like light polarizied in different directions
Hard-bitten and ruminating in grassy meadows
Are we fools acting like angels in the dreams we borrow
Watching the scared view of the West from the crow-stepped gable?
Well, I am your unicorn
Your red, white and blue boy
Kissing memories fading like willow chalk
Hanging onto your every word
As soft as the mountains on the skyline
Eating foxgloves and oranges
With the moonlight on my lips
And the colour of November on my cheeks.
