Axis

It was a summer Sunday
In the sleepy market town
And steeple bells were weaving
Spells of magic to the sound
Of the sunlit river
Symphony slipping by below
As I waited on the bridge for you
I watched the river flow

You took me through the country
Unfamiliar terrain
And in the gardens of a stately
Home you predicted rain
And we lounged beneath the oak tree
The sun was high above
In the field of electricity
The current of your love

Thunder brought the rain
Confusion blocked every drain
Wander turned to pain
Will I see you again?

Now I miss our conversations
Reading horoscopes on trains
We had different destinations
But our journey was the same
Between the junction and the viaduct
Where the axis meet and part

And if you're ever back this way
There's a station in my heart
And I'll be waiting at the station
Waiting here for you
I'll be waiting anticipating
Waiting here for you
