You beside me on the balcony

The dark Aegean sea at dawn

And ouzo and water and cigarettes

And knowing beyond the blazing braziers

You were among ten thousand as we played.

And seeing Brentford from above – our

What memories! And thinking of you and our love – 

What memories to come!

To lips I love, watch cigarette smoke

Caress the evening light...

Come Sunday

Think I’ll pour some homemade beer

To give myself a little cheer

It’s so cold and wintry here...
