lyrics

An Autumn Day Like This


On an autumn day like this
We'd sometimes let the fire die
Get our coats and drive out west
Beyond the end of the tramlines
Through the woods and up the hill
To a place where time stood still
We we'd be having toast and coffee
Looking over the city
We'd be drinking in the glow
Of the streets spread out below

Oh love
I'm sure you remember
I said
It's so dull being safe
I know
I was dumb and ungrateful then

In my old asthmatic Beetle
Mono speaker in the dash
Rolling down the cobbled road
To half the sound of our records
And if that was not enough
We would sing the other half
And in the weak beam of the headlights
All the trees looked like cut-outs
Turned a page each bend we took
In our life-sized pop-up book

Oh love
I'm sure you remember
What a git I could be
I know
But I wouldn't have believed you then

And back at the freezing flat
We'd try to get get the stove going
Till the flue was glowing red
Then we'd take ourselves to bed

Oh love
I'm sure you remember
I said
It's so dull being safe
I know
I was dumb and ungrateful then
