lyrics

The train came in the night;
It was foggy and still;
I found light in a pub
Up on old Bishopshill.

Now I've walked all your walls
In the sun and the snow,
Known your dark alleyways
Where the desperate ones go.

CHORUS
Now the gates are all gone
From this city of stone,
But your river has flooded
My blood and my bones.

And I knew a woman
Eyes brighter than stars,
She woke me up from a dream
When we kissed by the bar.

I played my guitar
Down in St. Sampson's Square,
And I heard the confession
Of an old man there.

CHORUS

You can wend where you will,
Come and go as you please
By the daffodil's bloom
Or the fall of the leaves.

The gargoyles keep watch
From the Minster's spires;
Bells baptise the city,
Though its faith has expired.

CHORUS
