Marry Waterson & Oliver Knight - Another Time

On open window dog days
float the mind give play
beyond the pattern on the wall
and the call of rag and bone
When she was small
she could hear the snow fall
They put a star on the tree
did it for brother and me

These days pulled by the sleeve
across the memory
In the s***e of my arms
in the stride of a step
in an intake of breath
comes to rest in my mind
the song of another time

Names traced on window panes
from the grate rainbow flames
on the light fantastic toe
your front was warm
your back was cold

That brighter colour
that deeper glow
shine out and show to me
a fragrant room through teatime steam

These days pulled by the sleeve
across the memory
In the s***e of my arms
in the stride of a step
in an intake of breath
comes to rest in my mind
the song of another time
These things come unbidden
like the chocolate hidden
in the underwear drawer
when no meant yes after all

Now you are grown
without the turning of a shadow
the even tenor of yesteryear
falls upon my ear

These days pulled by the sleeve
across the memory
In the s***e of my arms
in the stride of a step
in an intake of breath
comes to rest in my mind
the song of another time
