walking back home
deacon blue
are quiet over the hills tonight
and the cats' eyes and white lines
are heading out for miles
the frost on the embankment
keeps my feet on the road
and we stopped any travellers
and wished them good new year
and we quarrelled and we cheered
and we felt the earth below
and we knew how good it was
la la la la.la la la la.la la la la.la la la la
i left them at the circle
and we walked the last few hundred yards
i pulled my coat still closer
i've struck out for the first time
and now i'm walking back home
la la la la.la la la la.la la la la.la la la la
la la la la.la la la la.la la la la.la la la la
la la la la.la la la la.la la la la.la la la la
