Nostalgic, I remember when we were?
We thought death would never be
Now silver tears dance on lacquered wood

This vessel carrying you
Sailing away down cathedral lane
On a sea of hands, procession

Last week, making love sweet
Now you are Rotting away


The mourners on cathedral lane
under Sombre November rain
They cant feel my pain

they carry the box bearing your name
the mourners on cathedral lane
I turn from them and I walk away

Black arm band in vain
they carry my love away


Together,
walking down cathedral lane
Hand in hand - we were the same

Again that fateful walk
Now I in grief and you in a box
Verdant leaves now withered brown

Grey snow smothers lifeless ground
Bringing back memories of pain
I go down the cathedral lane


I without thou
Is life without death

No more your autumn hair
Velvet embrace now fading
No more the love I feel

Contempt for the loss
Of you, you let me go away
Its cruel

Oh!

The mourners on cathedral lane

under Sombre November rain
They never feel my pain
they carry the box bearing your name

the mourners on cathedral lane
I turn from them and I walk away
Black arm band in vain

they carry my love away

The mourners on cathedral lane

under Sombre November rain
They never feel my pain
they carry the box bearing your name

the mourners on cathedral lane
I turn from them and I walk away
Black arm band in vain

they carry my love away
