The Changing Lights Lyrics - The Changing Lights - Stacey Kent

Were we leaving Rio 

Or were we in New York? 

I remember bossa nova on the breeze 

We were in the back seat 

Of a cab we couldn't afford 

You were holding my old rucksack on your knees You leaned towards your window 

To see the traffic up ahead 

"These commuters here," you said 

"Could be the walking dead." 

And we vowed to guard our dreams 

From all the storms that lay ahead 

From the winds of fear and age and compromise And we laughed about the hopelessness 

Of so many peoples lives 

As we slowly moved towards the changing lights. 

It was near Les Invalides 

Or perhaps Trafalgar Square 

It was late at night the city was asleep. 

You were clowning in the back seat 

With some friends we'd found somewhere 

The kind, back then, we always seemed to meet. There were those in this great world you said 

Just fated to go far 

And among the lucky ones 

Were we inside that car. 

And your friends began to sing 

When You Wish Upon A Star 

And you clapped along like you didn't have a care But once I turned to glance at you 

As we drove across the square 

And your face looked haunted in the changing lights.

Was it last September? 

It was autumn more or less 

You were waiting to cross some busy boulevard Talking on your phone 

To your family I guess 

Your briefcase tucked up high beneath your arm 

As I approached you turned around 

A question in your eye 

As though I might ignore you 

And just simply walk on by 

But we smiled and talked awhile 

About each others lives 

And once or twice I caught a wistful note 

Then you moved towards the crossing 

As the cars slowed to a halt 

And we waved and parted beneath the changing lights.
