Acquaintance

(album: Legerdemain - 2015)

So by the by
In the neighbourhood of demons
Where I spent my time
Because it was convenient
I spied a friend
Who'd had a wedding day
Who used to conjure spirits
So I avert my gaze

Please, cries of please
Wrecked my summer acquaintance
Last time I checked
None of us were sainted
So much love was tainted
By time
So many years ago
So many years ago
So many years ago
Oh

So to you and yours
Let's chuck it up to auld lang syne
And remember however it suits you
Or not, either way is fine

Yes we ran the slopes
And picked the pretty flowers
And yes we know the ropes
Up and down the towers
Where we found amazing powers
To forget
Those many years ago
So many years ago
So many years ago
Oh
