He was lying in the half light

Of Christmas and Glasgow

Thinking and talking

Talking to St Enoch about

Christmas and Glasgow

Drinking and talking

And the sweet smell

Of the Kelvin Hall Circus

And the sweet smell lingered

Of her perfume and kisses

He needed to take one step

He was taking one step back

She knows the only danger

Of Christmas And Glasgow

Is you love too much

And she's thinking of years

At Christmas and Glasgow

When it meant too much

And walking in frost

Down in Cowcaddens

And the sweet smell

As they were lost in the garden

She needed to take one step

She was taking one step back

They could hear choirs, those heavenly choirs

Choirs of angels, those heavenly choirs

They needed to take one step

They were taking one step back
