Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
It's easy to describe the leaves in the Autumn
It's a very different thing
And what it means to you and me
And it's, oh so easy in the Spring
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame?
In the eternal presence, in the presence of the flame
But down through January and February
Outside the city hall, pastie suppers down at Davy's chipper
You may call my love Sophia, but I call my love Philosophy
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame?
Where he kept Johnny Mack Brown's horse
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
On and on and on and on, we kept on singing our song
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame?
I said, I could describe the leaves for Samuel
For Samuel and Felicity, rich, red browney, half burnt orange and green
When the wind blows up the collar and the ears are frostbitten too
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
On and on and on, through the winter of our discontent
Wee Alfie at the Castle Picturehouse on the Castlereagh Road
O Solo Mio by McGimsey and the man who played the saw
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
Over Newtonards and Comber, Gransha and the Ballystockart Road
With Boffyflow and Spike, I said I could describe the leaves
Whistling on the corner next door
We were shining our light into the days of blooming wonder
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
