After Hours Walk

(hmmmm) Walked past your corner after twelve

The rain is painting the pavement gold

Your name is a quiet habit now

A story I have never told

And the water reflects the sky

As the houses lose their light

I am still wandering by

Under the cover

of night

(by, by, by...)

Same shadows on the brickwork wall

Same silence hanging in the air

I half-expect to hear you call

But there is no one standing there

(holding... holding...)

Only the rain

Only the rain (ahhhh)
