Mostly Autumn - Glass Shadows Lyrics

Half the night I drove alone
Catching silhouettes in headlights, thinking…
I parked beneath the chalk white horse
Above the tree line, the city glowed
And the candles moved in time
With the moon as she died
And the earth span round
To meet the blood red sun

A fair leaves town
Just a mess on the grass
The echo of a shadow falls
A taste of autumn past
We walked the misty lantern light
The cobbles damp and cold
I caught a glimpse of yesteryear
From the house I knew before

The crashing seas and thunder
Catch the moonlight in their rage
The haunted winter gales that scream
Across the Abbey in Whitby town
I swear I saw the black Armadas
Tearing in towards the land
A thousand wordless voices echo
Carried on the heavy wind
Oh, just a little more time
To stay a little longer

I walked the empty aerodrome
Cracked and overgrown
We used to scout for UFOs
Our backs against the stone

The eerie drone of foreign bombers
Black against the mantle clouds
The spilling sun and shards of gold
Rust across the bluebell wood
I never saw a brighter star
Reflected in the spectre's face
We ran so fast we didn't breathe
And never dared go back again
Oh, just a little more time
To say goodbye

We're so tired but we're beautiful
Reaching out to the unknown
Until our shadows freeze so cold they crack
And all the dreams we didn't breathe
Our spirits screaming out to leave
The way you held my hand
The days we moved so close begin to fade
Lost in time

The glass was always full you know
The first kiss lingers with me still
To never see her face again
To never walk with her again
The heart we shared
The life we were
The second hand that cuts the thread
There's nowhere left to run, to hide
We sleep, we wake, we love, we die
