23.When You And I Were Young
作词:Alasdair Maclean, James Hornsey, Mark Keen
When you and I were young
We would press our white faces from the car
And the rain on the windows
Would run through the gathering dark
And the lampposts shone
And dogs would run into the dying frame
Where the park was glowing dimly
Through the silence of the lanes
And the radiators hum
Rose above the falling leaves
Were so fragile and so young
You had drifted into sleep
I've been for a walk and every face I see
Seems to be mine
Night time comes, the birds have flown
A fever glows in every line
I love this season, this weary night
The flint, the dreams, the silent pines
The eeriness is in the feeling
That I have finished everything
And a child from the school
Was running back to her car
And her white face cried
She was deaf and afraid of the dark
And the whispering house grew still
As we stared into the night
In the garden and the lamps
And the window's fading light
And though Christmas was the same
We had seen another year
Turning softly through the flames
