It was Boxing Day, the town hung in the mist
That breaks your heart there
We were falling , not quite fallen
In our love affair

On the castle wall you climbed up to dance
And stopped where I sat
Like ladies' night you asked to kiss me first
I don't forget that

Chorus:

Now I've cut all your faces from the pictures that I took
And never go to places where we've been
It hurts to feel the change when I think of how we were
On the morning of a dream

And we slept late, wished the cold night
Didn't have to end
Stared into each other's eyes, hardly ate a thing
Then slept again

While you lay there, I wrote a song
That you didn't see
It was young and foolish, it said everything
That mattered about me

Chorus

Now I've found getting used to getting on without you here
Is not as hard as once it might have seemed
Just now and then I see a ghost of what I knew
On the morning of a dream

Chorus

Hollow words like love are ones that I no longer use
Or know exactly what it is they mean
Those words belong to you and the lies they helped to tell
On the morning of a dream
