Daylight For The Lovers
Lyric by Clive James, music by Pete Atkin
Daylight for the lovers
Shines otherwise than for the lonely:
It clears the air of shadows
For their eyes only
When they breathe on the crystal of a wristwatch
They can find a rainbow in the mist
And tell a time by how it changes
They can never tell to strangers
And for now it seems that always
The sheer brilliance in the park
Will blaze and not remind them
That before them and behind them
Their time slides into the dark
Daylight for the lovers
Shines otherwise than for the lonely:
It clears the air of shadows
For their eyes only
For their eyes only
