Acquaintance

So by the by

In the neighbourhood of demons

Where I spent my time

Because it was convenient

I spied a friend

Who'd had a wedding day

Who used to conjure spirits

So I avert my gaze

Please, cries of please

Wrecked my summer acquaintance

Last time I checked

None of us were sainted

So much love was tainted

By time

So many years ago

So many years ago

So many years ago

Oh

So to you and yours

Let's chuck it up to auld lang syne

And remember however it suits you

Or not, either way is fine

Yes we ran the slopes

And picked the pretty flowers

And yes we know the ropes

Up and down the towers

Where we found amazing powers

To forget

Those many years ago

So many years ago

So many years ago

Oh
