He was lying in the half light
Of christmas and glasgow
Thinking and talking
Talking to st enoch about
Christmas and glasgow
Drinking and talking
And the sweet smell
Of the kelvin hall circus
And the sweet smell lingered
Of her perfume and kisses
He needed to take one step
He was taking one step back
She knows the only danger
Of christmas and glasgow
Is you love too much
And she's thinking of years
At christmas and glasgow
When it meant too much
And walking in frost
Down in cowcaddens
And the sweet smell
As they were lost in the garden
She needed to take one step
She was taking one step back
They could hear choirs, those heavenly choirs
Choirs of angels, those heavenly choirs
They needed to take one step
They were taking one step back
