Supermarket lights burn in the darkness
   The chilly winter nights bring the scarves from the drawer
   A crowd starts to gather on paving stone squares
   Teeth start to chatter as the staff leave the store
  
   And daughters meet mothers and fathers meet sons
   It's too dark to walk home without anyone
  
   The shopping precinct's closed, it's like a graveyard
   The chain falls through the spokes as I unlock my bike
   I cycle to the pub where I meet with my friends
   And I know that it's love as she pours me my pint
  
   And strangers meet strangers and friends share their lives
   I look at her again and feel butterflies
  
   I pull the pillow to my side
   And I imagine it is her
   As I slip into the night,
   I know what I prefer
   But I hope and I pray that one day she will say
   That's it's true
   I can't live without loving you
  
   Now there's no one around I push the bike home
   The rain's a lovely sound as it runs down the path
   There's our lights in the road, they amber the night
   And there's nobody home, so I soak in the bath
   And bubbles meet bubbles as they become one
   I think about the world and what I have done
  
   I pull the pillow to my side etc
  
   Supermarket lights burn in the darkness (repeat to fade)
