I went down in my memory lane
On still and cold December night,
My past thoughts clinging to the darkest corner
Of my mind to seek warmth.
...
all i saw was grey,
grey feelings, grey atmosphere,
silence and laughter all grey,
but what's that fire i see?
...
All alone by herself she sat in the darkest corner
Of the end of the street on a closing winter night
Surrounded by the sombre atmosphere of the dying year
She was bereft of an amiable company
...
His articulate ringing laughter
Is still echoing in my mind,
When I recall those happy days
Which we spent together
...
