Closing Time Lyrics - Singles - Deacon Blue

This is the way we walk 

This is how we walk 

At closing time 

These are the songs we sing 

These are our songs 

At closing time 

And in the clear 

Of this sweet moonshine 

We'll walk back 

To where we started 

On our own again 

This is my favorite time 

Drink up now and move outside 

It's closing time 

My most favorite lips 

Are on the girls that i kissed 

At closing time 

And in the clear of dear sweet moonshine 

We'll walk back 

To where we started 

On our own again 

When all the people are just 

Shuffling home 

When all the saddest things are 

Said and done 

And all the words are brighter 

In the happy light of 

Closing time 

We took the shortcut home 

Over the wood slat bridge 

And stood and gazed and wished 

Till all the clouds 

Had vanished 

Nothing could be missed 

And only the river passed 

And there at the back of eleven 

In the late summer night 

A leaf landed soft 

Soft soft soft 

And sorrowful 

And your belly was warm 

As the day was long 

And night came upon us 

So fast 

Would you be poor 

Not to be sure 

That everything lasts for ever 

Some things don't get better 

Till you're on your own again 

We took the shortcut home 

Over the wood slat bridge 

And stood and stared and wished 

Till all the clouds 

Had vanished 

Nothing could be missed 

And only the river passed 

And there at the back of eleven 

A leaf landed soft and sorrowful 

And your belly was warm 

And the day was long 

And night came upon us 

So fast 

So fast 

Came so fast 

Came so fast 

Came so fast 

And all we said 

Da da do do 

All we said was 

All we said was 

Was da da do do 

Was da da do do 

Da da do do 

And all we said 

Do do 

Do do 

Do do
