Bilingual
I walked in my greatcoat
Down through the days of the leaves
ย
No before after, yes after before
ย
We were shining our light into the days of blooming wonder
ย
In the eternal presence, in the presence of the flame
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame
ย
On and on and on and on we kept singing our song
ย
Over newtonards and comber, gransha and the
Ballystockart road
With boffyflow and spike
I said I could describe the leaves for samuel and felicity
ย
Rich, red browney, half burnt orange and green
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame
It's easy to describe the leaves in the autumn
And it's oh so easy in the spring
But down through january and february it's a very different thing
ย
On and on and on, through the winter of our discontent
ย
When the wind blows up the collar and the ears are frostbitten too
ย
I said I could describe the leaves for samuel and what it means to you and me
ย
You may call my love sophia, but I call my love philosophy
ย
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame
ย
Wee alfie at the
Castle picture house on the castlereagh road.
Whistling on the corner next door where
He kept johnny mack brown's horse
O solo mio by mcgimsey
And the man who played the saw
Outside the city hall
ย
Pastie suppers down at davey's chipper
ย
Gravy rings, wagon wheels
Barmbracks, snowballs
ย
A sense of wonder
A sense of wonder
A sense of wonder
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder
