An Hour Before the Light

[Verse 1] And when I see your sunlit eyes It turns my laughter into stone I wait a single hour before the light Unreal and alone [Chorus 1] Summer's waxing in the air, the meadows stretch and onwards to St. James' Square Oh, my mind's astray I dream of you each fevered night, the stars are cold and singing in an August sky That breaks into the day [Verse 2] Are you really in the lonely evening light That falls in shadows to the ground?
