song title / lyrics

"when the champagne of night comes on (i'll be gone, gone, gone)"

when the tutor paces by the sleepy ol' clock tower
when the whispering stream is stripped of all its melodies
when the cluttered attic rustling collides into a song

when the champagne of night comes on i'll be gone

when the champagne of night comes on
i'll be gone, gone, gone

when an open window pours steam into the vagrant air
when the switchman peeks to see a wound that isn't there
when a shapeless figure curls to breach the sorrow in the calm

when the champagne of night comes on i'll be gone

when the champagne of night comes on
i'll be gone, gone, gone

i've seen your face before, yet haven't found the way
to articulate the things words can't convey
and though the evening shadows may convince me that it's wrong

when the champagne of night comes on i'll be gone

when the champagne of night comes on
i'll be gone, gone, gone
