Holy Company

[Verse 1]
I woke up next to my favourite lover
And her hair was an autumn shade of gold
And I told her that I would soon be leavin'
To wander on down that long, last travelled road

[Verse 2]
And I looked out of her upstairs window
And I saw figures dancin' on the lawn
And I wished, I wished so heartily
That I could join them down in their holy company

[Chorus]
And the lights went out
I'm alone again
Growing older by the day

[Verse 3]
And she wept so bitterly
And she told me I'd be always welcome here
Joined her in the white house by the river
Hung over for an evening by the pier
I keep holy company
And even now [?]

[Chorus]
And the lights went out
I'm alone again
Growing older by the day

And the lights went out
I'm alone again
And I'm walkin' round
[?] again
Growing older by the day

[Verse 4]
I woke up next to my favourite lover
Many years have passed but memories aren't dead
And now [?], I can see another
Be the man that I wished to become
