Lyrics
Oh, that awkward angel
That dear impossible boy
Evermore in flight away from me
And yet such a boy
Stop all the clocks
Cut off the telephone
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffins, let the mourners come
The task was simple: love another man
Titans may be laughing but there was a plan
Forgive his indiscretions, give him all he asks
Winston, you have failed yourself this simple task
Winston, you have failed yourself this simple task
He was my north, my south, my east, my west
My working week and my Sunday rest
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song
I thought that love would last forever
I was wrong
I was wrong
The stars are not wanted now
Put out every one
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun
Put away the ocean and sweep up the wood
For nothing now can ever come to any good
Come to good
