Dick Heckstall-Smith - What the Morning Was After lyrics

I've been here before Feeling like ten years old Left all the others and opened the door And you emptied my banks of their gold Left all the rivers and let them dry Walking into the sun One lonely mountain of ice in your eye Not a trace we had ever begun Planting a field for a thousand times Painting the walls with rhymes Left all the planets and found us a place With the dreams falling flat on their face Put all the pieces back again Or put them on a train Gave up the day time, went looking for night With the smoke turning yellow in light Think of a semi-detached little love nest With a built-in garage Picture a perfect retreat in the country Eating the cakes of the Darby & Joan Club At the jumbo sale Try not to notice the cobwebs on windows Go to another town Hiding the feelings there Spend all my money, forgetting the love Your faces below and above Taking a plane for America Hoping to find the stars Bridges all burned and the boats overturned And the humming-birds drowned by the cars I filled up with hope for the better things Ooh, it was in the past Now all I need is some more streamlined wings And the pieces of you that will last
