Where we basked among the midnight embers

But it's going like a half-remembered dream

Left and north of where we met

Thinking better of going west

Yes we've lost each other in a river stream

I thought I'd come and find you there

Wait until you lost your hair

And got your place out in the woods

You're not afraid of trees or bears

Anything with tendencies

To wanna hurt you good

The only thing I learnt in a year

Where I didn't smile once, not really

Nothing matters more than love, no

Nothing, no, not nothing no, not nearly

We've not got long, you know

To bask in this afterglow

Once it's gone it's gone

I won't forget that late September

Where we basked among the midnight embers

But it's going like a half-remembered dream

Left and north of where we met

Thinking better of going west

Have we lost each other in a river stream

The only thing I learnt in a year

Where I didn't smile once, not really

Nothing matters more than love, no

Nothing, no, not nothing no, not nearly

We've not got long, you know

To bask in this afterglow

Once it's gone it's gone

Love waits for no one

We've not got long, you know

To bask in this afterglow

Once it's gone it's gone

Love waits for no one
