Won't lose sight of you

Departure late at night
window-shopping from a train
yes the darkness looks allright
but will the daylight find me sane ?

Are there lights up in the sky
reflected in the beerstains
on your tray, or do you cry
with happiness or is it pain ?

         All the angels that dance
         on the tip of a needle
         would be well worth a glance
         but they will never wheedle
         me into losing sight of you
         no matter what they do
         I won't lose sight of you

Departure late at night
sitting with silent strangers
who will later on describe
you as Mary in the manger

See yourself reflected
in a window wet with steam
where as could be expected
you see all love is like a dream

       refr.
