lyrics

The gate is locked but the lights are on
No-one is answering the phone
Hint of tobacco drifts by my nostrils
Here time travels
Transporting me back again

To a time when she was here
And I was held in her mind and hands
Cleaning my scraped knees
Letting me dip my fingers into a bowl of flour
Sugared sour apples on my tongue

Tobacco pipe drifts and we are all together
Hot skies and a bottle of Australian red wine
Tales of Koalas
Always proudest of the youngest members of the clan
Holding us all in your mind

Fragments of our story jumbled among the pebbles on a beach
Midnight car journeys
Cooked breakfast at the end of the pier
Love letters never read but not forgotten

Last month I was so moved by your stories of Cyril
Lost in the war
Air raid sirens, air raid sirens
Fear falls through the clouds
A castle and a telephone box
Where it all began
Together again in the sky
