Clouds a drifting across the moon
Dirty old town
Saw a train set the night on fire
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Spring's a girl from the streets at night
I met my love by the gas works wall
I heard a siren from the docks
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
