Hoxton Square

I was drifting on a river
I did not know on any map that I owned
And in the darkness I thought I could hear signs
To let me know it was time

To drop the rope and pull the sail
To let the wind become a gale
To let the stars decide where I would lie

And as I watched the lightening tear apart the sky
The memories that were adrift
Came crashing through my mind

Of walking down through Hoxton Square
The smell of bluebells in the air
The feeling that the time was right
To kiss you goodnight

It's true I've cried too much
The bitter moon and sour sun
The breaking waves that keep my mind
Running back to you
For months I've watched the sea
Turn from blue to yellow-green
I feel the changes come to me
As I listen for the sounds that I may never hear

Of walking through Charles Square
With all the ribbons in your hair
At the time I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you
Through the crashing, ripping tides
I've had the time to decide
That if it's true that I must die
I regret you never knew what I felt for you

Of walking down through Hoxton Square
The smell of bluebells in the air
The feeling that the time was right

Of walking down through Hoxton Square
The smell of bluebells in the air
The feeling that the time was right
To kiss you goodnight
