It's of a Soho morning in shades of dirty grey
At 6am, well I stumbled once more into the day
The street's in need of hosing down to wash away the gloom
And I was nineteen years of age, the time has gone so soon
'Twas there I spied a maiden with glitter in her hair
And it fell in shards of crimson and it lit the morning air
She's teetered on her platform heels and scaffolded my mind
Me, without a hard hat on, just begging to be fined 

And I would recommend
And I'd write it in a song
A night that ends on Greek Street
To anybody young

Well, she took her name from winter, no robin went without
And she fluttered on the petrol breeze as neon picked her out
The soul of Cambridge Circus, a phoenix from the frost 
Before I knew what had begun I had already lost 
So we took a bus to Lewisham where her mother had a place
And against the kitchen sideboard, well I kissed her on the face
And on a Swedish packing bed I kissed her naked breast
And it wasn't 'til the midnight moon we stopped to take a rest

It's strange what I remember - it's strange what I recall
I don't remember conversations - I don't remember words at all
I remember trips to Brighton, wrapped warm against the cold
I remember thinking time had stopped and we weren't growing old
And that's the wonder of the transient- a sense of life alive
And the magic of the twilight sky and fingers intertwined
And fingers then unraveled, and distance in the sheets
And distance in the way she gazed way back on down the street

So we lingered in the summer months, my winter maid and me
And in the Soho evenings I loved her tenderly 
But by the time the autumn came, her eye began to roam
And I wandered back to Lewisham all longing and alone
So she took her Swedish packing bed for some other blade to game
And I tried my best to blame her but the blame it never came
For she was but 18 years of age and barely in her bloom
That one sweet misty morning on old Greek Street in the gloom
