lyrics

Starling clouds are rolling by, a pale sun in a yellow sky
A picture grows
There is me and there is you, an Autumn maybe ‘82?
Where did we go?

I close my eyes so I might see
There is you and there is me, I think I know
Precious moments slip away they flash before my eyes and say
Where did we go?

I can’t tell you how I ever carry on
They said I must be strong
They said I must be strong
On the day you went away

Starling cloud are rolling high, embers lost in my mind’s eye
Softly glow
I close my eyes so I might find a little bit of peace of mind

I can’t tell you how I ever carry on
They said I must be strong
They said I must be strong
On the day you went away

I can’t escape from how I feel, it’s not a dream no this is real
Now that you’re gone, gone

I can’t tell you how I ever carry on
They said I must be strong
They said I must be strong
On the day you went away
