| Lady Of A Day
Lyric by Clive James, music by Pete Atkin
And so goodbye, my lady of a day
Now let your step be long
And now your laugh be gay
It's only right that everything went wrong
It couldn't happen any other way
A thousand miles east, the lovers say
It's written in the sky
With stars that lead away
It couldn't happen to a nicer guy
A nicer girl, my lady of a day
Through screens of memory you leave me
Smile on the screen behind
And then the screen behind the screen behind the screen
But nothing alters what has been
Nor do my eyes deceive me
And so goodbye, my lady of a night
Now let your head be clear
And now your smile bright
As hour by day by week by month by year
You dim but never wholly disappear
On the curving path away from my delight
