This song was likely about Syd’s girlfriend, Jenny Spires, who he had a very close relationship with; in Spires' words, “he was my first boyfriend and that always seemed to draw us back together over the years.” Spires had left to travel to America to Syd’s dismay, and the loneliness and familiarity...
When I woke up today
And you weren't there to play
Then I wanted to be with you
When you showed me your eyes
Whispered low of the skies
Then I wanted to stay with you
Inside me I feel alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me
When I lay still at night
Seeing stars high and light
Then I wanted to be with you
When the rooftops shone dark
All alone saw a spark
Spark of love just to stay with you
Inside me I feel alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me
If I mention your name
Turn around on a chain
Then the sky opens out for you
When we grew very tall
When I saw you so small
Then I wanted to stay with you
Inside me I feel alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me...
