[Verse 1]
I dreamt we were standing by the banks of the Thames
Where the cold grey waters ripple in the misty morning light
Held a match to your cigarette, watched the smoke curl in the mist
Your eyes, blue as the ocean between us, smiling at me

[Verse 2]
I awoke so cold and lonely in a faraway place
The sun fell cold upon my face, cracks in the ceiling spelt hell
Turned to the wall, pulled the sheets around my head
Tried to sleep and dream my way back to you again

[Chorus]
Count the days slowly passing by
Step on a plane and fly away
I'll see you then as the dawn birds sing
On a cold and misty morning by the Albert Bridge
