October Nights (27th August)

The dusk is calling out to us both Across the city Chain your bike up outside my house Your hands are chilly I meet you on the doorstep, take your Selwyn scarf off Hold you in my arms once again One night a week is nothing, but that's how I know we're something Worth making time for on a dark night Autumn's crown falls through the trees On sunset walks through muddy piles of leaves The fading light holds yesteryear's memories Of October nights with you, dear The kettle breaks us out of our gaze With its boiling Pour you out a warm cup of tea You must be freezing We'll head out down the river, across Midsummer Common A path we'll come to know oh so well One night a week is nothing, but that's how I know we're something Worth making time for on a dark night Autumn's crown falls through the trees On sunset walks through muddy piles of leaves The fading light holds yesteryear's memories Of October nights with you, dear It's six years on we're older, this October is one that Will always stick around in our heads But I'll treasure all those Wednesdays, when I learned we were something Worth making time for on a dark night
