In the winter. chattering cold
While the building shook like
ragweed in the wind
Stories from the heat pipes,
we were told
Now they only leave me with
a half enchanted grin
It was always three flights
up
Cathedral bells kept time
Bicycles squeeze down alleyways
into view
And towels warmed on oven
doors to not freeze
It was the only thing to do
I wonder if we took to the
fair warning
I can see it in the flowers
dying on the window sill
I know we have to be out by
tomorrow morning
But am I going against my
will
Cathedral bells kept time
