On this bleary night
twilight fades the flowers & the pines
A pale moon's on the rise
& the lily pond lies still
& mirrors a hazy opal sky
September has arrived
So we go for a walk
The houses in the street
are faded & pale like old photographs
& we'll count the fading stars
but School Street's so still
it's almost unreal
like the ways of a dream
Can't help but to feel like I've seen this film before
A castle of sand, slipping through my hands, nothing more
Can't help but to feel like I've had this dream before
A castle of sand, slipping through my hands, that's all
twilight fades the flowers & the pines
A pale moon's on the rise
& the lily pond lies still
& mirrors a hazy opal sky

A castle of sand, slipping through my hands, nothing more
Can't help but to feel like I've had this dream before
