This is the way we walk
This is how we walk at closing time
These are the songs we sing
These are our songs at closing time And in the clear of this sweet moonshine
We'll walk back to where we started on our own again This is my favorite time
Drink up now and move outside, it's closing time
My most favorite lips
Are on the girls that I kissed at closing time And in the clear of dear sweet moonshine
We'll walk back to where we started on our own again When all the people are just shuffling home
When all the saddest things are said and done
And all the words are brighter
In the happy light of closing time We took the shortcut home
Over the wood slat bridge
And stood and gazed and wished
Till all the clouds has vanished Nothing could be missed
And only the river passed
And there at the back of eleven
In the late summer night A leaf landed soft, soft soft soft and sorrowful
And your belly was warm
As the day was long
And night came upon us so fast Would you be poor not to be sure
That everything lasts for ever
Some things don't get better
Till you`re on your own again When all the people are just shuffling home
When all the saddest things are said and done
And all the words are brighter
In the happy light of closing time All the people are just shuffling home
When all the saddest things are said and done
And all the words are brighter
In the happy light of closing time We took the shortcut home
Over the wood slat bridge
And stood and stared and wished
Till all the clouds has vanished Nothing could be missed
And only the river passed
And there at the back of eleven
In the late summer night A leaf landed soft, soft soft soft and sorrowful
And your belly was warm
As the day was long
And night came upon us so fast, so fast Came so fast
Came so fast
Came so fast
And all we said da da do do All we said was
All we said was
Was da da do do
Was da da do do Da da do do
All we said
And all we said
Do do, do do, do do
