lyrics

i had a dream and you were there
the room filled up with newspaper
and on the front page, plain as ever
a polaroid of us in outer space
with the "Angel From Montgomery"
spinning on my turntable
open my eyes to find you were gone for good

up the hill and down the slope,
i wander on up the hill again
adam tells me "Abyssinia -
it is what it is so let it be."
and again i miss my train
caught up in the turnstile
back to the empty house soaked in alcohol

it's in the stars we'll meet again
the tarot told me twice, my friend
heaven help me, God forgive me
i feel the Earth move beneath my bed
we'll meet again it's plain to see
underneath the old oak tree
the smell of the autumn breeze blowing through the leaves
