Fine rain was falling on the gravel and glades

The last rays of September bejewelled broken blades

But there's someone that I long for

Oh, where have you been?

As the red earth lies under a covering of green


Do you trip on the city's golden gutters and kerbs?

As the seasons grow wild and the ground undisturbed

`Till you find what you are now

Is less than you've been

As the red earth lies under a covering of green


Is patience exhausted?

Are your pockets picked clean?

I was lost in the next world

Or somewhere in between

And it's much as predicted

They go down that same track

They say they'll return

But they never come back


Fine rain was falling on the gravel and glades

The lest rays of September bejewelled broken blades

Are you still restless

Or are you serene?

As the red earth lies under just a covering of green
