Sometimes it seems like only yesterday
I who never was one to fold my hands and pray turned to the sky
It was the spookiest July I've ever seen

There was a whispering in the wire & a song in the trees

How I wanted you to step in to my world

And brighten the shade
How I wanted you
You took the blue out of the blues

And the gray out of gray

Three clouds afloat about above the riverside

From Nine flights up the town looked just about a thimbles size
And when you walked into the room
I thought I could hear my favourite tune

Rise from the floorboards, through the roof and into a sky of blue

How I wanted you to step into my world

And let the light slip in
How I wanted you to step in to my sorry life
And make it begin


A winding road leads off into the dark
From the clear light of the present to the shadows of the past

You picture a scene, the smallest thing
A certain something springs to mind
And it rattles the wire

And makes these memories seem almost alive

How I wanted you to step in to my world

And brighten the shade
How I wanted you,
You coloured the stars and sky

And I wanted you to be mine
