Time like an old coat is heavy to bear
Ghost surprises, mist in the air
Look, my dear, at all your pretty dresses
Hung upon nails, drawn down to earth
Blue Girl! Time to send the old boys away
Who came and went along the days
Sorry to say, my darling, that nobody stayed
If you close all the doors
Then nothing fades away
Cloaks of amber, pockets of grey
The dust on your pillow, softly caresses
The sleep from your eyes
But the magic’s gone now
Blue Girl! Your act was hard to follow, you know
And I guess I always told you so
But now so close to winter, you’re all on your own.
