Old Flame

I live near the doorway
Where you stood when you
Saw me off ten years ago
Warm with sleep, at four in the morning

And I thought no-one would be as beautiful again.

The park is dark and empty
So I hurry on home every day
And want to look back

Though I know you've gone
And I've gone
And the door shut.
