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   & brighten the shade   How I wanted you   You took the blue out of the blues   & the grey out of grey      3 clouds afloat about above the riverside   From 9 flights up the town looked just about a thimbles size   & when you walked into the room   I thought I could hear my favourite tune   Rise from the floorboards, through the roof & into a sky of blue      How I wanted you to step into my world   & let the light slip in   How I wanted you to step in to my sorry life   & 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   & it rattles the wire & makes these memories seem almost alive      How I wanted you to step in to my world   & brighten the shade   How I wanted you,   you coloured the stars & sky   & I wanted you to be mine
