Flicker In My Eye lyrics

loves ashes cinders burning these arms that once held you like a sunset and the sea like a sneaky thief like the gulls flapping wings how quickly we've ended up, strangers just a flicker in my eye like smoke from a fire a child in a chair your clever eyes your long brown hair as the shopkeepers closed crowds passed us by time has no patience as we say goodbye just a flicker in my eye the rainy pavement's glimmering like a hundred sparks gone white and in your heart you feel it don't you when it is all over it is all over it is all over and so i teased you to ease the air when sadness is stinging when there's no reply Just a flicker in my eye Just a flicker in my eye Just a flicker in my eye
