"Nightingales" lyrics

"Nightingales"

I close my eyes, then pretend this is all a dream
No surprise, you and I, things are as they seem
Time flew by, we ebbed and flowed, [?]
Drifting high, but wake up now and listen in the trees

Listen
Listen

A nightingale from Barclay Square
Sang "I love you everywhere"
Written in those blessed years
Before you chose to close your ears
Now you're not listening
You're not listening

Through the rain, we soldiered on, d'you ever think of me?
Seems a shame to close the door on all that might have been
We lived in dreams, we strove to gain a stroke of déja vu
Tell me please how in a world of pain there's so much beauty too

Listen
Listen

The sun set over Primrose Hill
I told you then, I loved you still
You stood a while to take it in
Before we started quarrelling
Could I still love you?

I still love you

The mist still falls on Camden Town
The memories by the [?] ([?])
The tiny [?] that stowed away
And echoes from our yesterday
The daisies in your own backyard
Showing you the yellow heart
To bring us to [?]
But it's too late, it's over now
But I'm still listening
