Oh, to Be Back with You

In the shadow of the old north church
I courted her
While the pigeons and the gargoyles perched
She sang
Is there anyone who's seen those eyes
Dismissing her
Is there anyone whose lips she's kissed
Complain
Seven months and seven wonders
Seven roads of rain and thunder
Seven hills of lamp-light gleaming
Seven turns towards where you're dreaming
Oh, to be back with you
On a mission of the crossroad palms
Simplicity
Could function as a fine first prize
For pain
But picking up the breadcrumb clues
Efficiently
Just lights me up a new day's dawn
But strange
Seven months and seven wonders
Seven roads of rain and thunder
Seven hills of lamp-light gleaming
Seven turns towards where you're dreaming
Oh, to be back with you
In the shadow of the old north church
I courted her
In the clanging of those cast-iron bells
Her fangs
While the windows of that hilltop shop
Distorted her
I tumbled on my pride pitfall
From grace
Seven months and seven wonders
Seven roads of rain and thunder
Seven hills of lamp-light gleaming
Seven turns towards where you're dreaming
Lots of time to think it over
Lots of blame to claim and shoulder
I was wrong, I don't deny it
Please forgive me, would you try it
Oh, to be back with you
Oh, to be back with you
