[Verse 1]
I close my eyes, then pretend this is all a dream
No surprise, you and I, things are as they seem
Time flew by, we ebbed and flowed, [?]
Drifting high, but wake up now and listen in the trees
[Pre-Chorus]
Listen
Listen
[Chorus]
A nightingale from Barclay Square
Sang "I love you everywhere"
Written in those blessed years
Before you chose to close your ears
Now you're not listening
You're not listening
[Verse 2]
Through the rain, we soldiered on, d'you ever think of me?
Seems a shame to close the door on all that might have been
We lived in dreams, we strove to gain a stroke of déja vu
Tell me please how in a world of pain there's so much beauty too
[Pre-Chorus]
Listen
Listen
[Chorus]
The sun set over Primrose Hill
I told you then, I loved you still
You stood a while to take it in
Before we started quarrelling
Could I still love you?
[Bridge]
I still love you
[Chorus]
The mist still falls on Camden Town
The memories by the [lay around?] ([?])
The tiny [?] that stowed away
And echoes from our yesterday
The daisies in your own backyard
Showing you the yellow heart
To bring us to [?]
But it's too late, it's over now
But I'm still listening
