Lyrics

Shades of dapple-grey running in and out the door
It's the only way to be lifted from the floor
And the light slips along the outer wall
And the night creeps along the corridor

So far so good
I suppose we did what we could
Heaven knows we played it by the book
So the story goes

A taste of apple green floating through the open door
Everybody seems to be crawling on the floor
So the day slips along the garden fence
And the colours fade in

A touch of icy blue dancing out across the lawn
Shiver to the tune lying helpless on the floor
Night and day sweep along the empty hall
Shades of dapple-grey dropping gently from the wall
