I'm still creeping round The sleeping shapes Waiting 'til day breaks And until now the ground Has found a way To keep the lamp posts bound Down from the light night air Who'll coax them up... ward And like a school of jellyfish A thousand lanterns sway and bounce Into (into the navy night) the navy night And that's when the stars begin to fight A balloon dips low When there's no one be... low Standing on their toes To grab it down And the aeroplanes Suspend themselves From a ceiling sky Around the world In just a night And like a fleet of submarines A thousand autumn leaves Carve their trail (Into the navy night) into the navy night As they take flight And there's just no way (the seeds are sown) I'm staying here While everybody leaves (you're on your own) To spend their time On people who aren't me (now it's too late) And I'm just so sick (keep yourself warm) Of sitting tight At such a terrifying height (you're in the storm) While down below They tell me to calm down (the sea won't change) Then they look away Well I've never felt so calm And now I'm still creeping Round the sleeping shapes
