Half way from yesterday 
and today is that far 
from tomorrow.

Last night in dream though it 
feels like it 
could have been real 
when the sun set on the night 
and the devil made his move
making the deal 
marking his seal on the unwilling 
and unwary 
I met Mary again 
on the banks of the Thames.

we chatted of things and ate apple pie 
under the wings of a Bankside sky.

it's been a long time
she said 
aye 
replied I 
and we held
one another 
under the wings of a
Bankside sky.
