Flicker In My Eye

Loves ashes
Cinders burning
These arms that once held you
Like a sunset and the sea
Like a sneaky thief
Like the gulls flapping wings
How quickly we've ended up, strangers

Just a flicker in my eye

Like smoke from a fire
A child in a chair
Your clever eyes
Your long brown hair
As the shopkeepers closed
Crowds passed us by
Time has no patience
As we say goodbye

Just a flicker in my eye

The rainy pavement's glimmering
Like a hundred sparks gone white
And in your heart you feel it don't you
When it is all over
It is all over
It is all over

And so i teased you
To ease the air
When sadness is stinging
When there's no reply

Just a flicker in my eye
Just a flicker in my eye
Just a flicker in my eye
