Crossing Abbey Road (v1) A woman I once loved Walks towards me slowly Wraps a maxi-coat around her In a gesture almost holy She looks quite normal An impression that won’t last She’s caught in amber A jewel from the past Pre-chorus Those were the days my friend For her they’ll never end/never end Chorus Her mind’s a Bermuda Triangle Filled with psychedelic waste It’s all unchartable space And the only thought she holds Is to count aloud the zebra stripes While crossing Abbey Road/crossing Abbey Road (v2) We strolled once through Hyde Park Giggling in the rain Ate a 99 Flake From the ice-cream van Watched a three-dimension rainbow As it glorified the skies And when the sun returned I saw it dancing in her eyes Pre-chorus Those were the days my friend For her they’ll never end/never end Chorus Her mind’s a Bermuda Triangle Filled with psychedelic waste It’s all unchartable space And the only thought she holds Is to count aloud the zebra stripes While crossing Abbey Road/crossing Abbey Road Lift Her elevator stops at the 13th floor At a room that’s never locked The dead are always grateful When she comes to sit and talk (v3) Now she lives by herself But is never alone Voices laughing in her head Though no one ever phones She fell from Lucy's diamond sky But can still describe the ways She hears the colours in her mind Sees notes when music plays Pre-chorus Once the woman held me fast Now she walks blindly past Chorus Her mind’s a Bermuda Triangle Filled with psychedelic waste It’s all unchartable space And the only thought she holds Is to count aloud the zebra stripes While crossing Abbey Road/crossing Abbey Road © 2008-2009 Donna Devine
