There's a light in the house in the wood in the valley.
There's a thought in the head of the man.
Who carries his dreams like the coat slung on his shoulder,
Bringing you love in the cap in his hand.
And each step he takes is one half of a lifetime:
no word he would say could you understand.
So he bundles his regrets into a gesture of sorrow,
Bringing you love cap in hand.
Catching breath as he looks through the dining-room window:
candle lit table for two has been laid.
Strange slippers by the fire.
Strange boots in the hallway.
Put my cap on my head.
I turn and walk away.
There's a thought in the head of the man.
Who carries his dreams like the coat slung on his shoulder,
Bringing you love in the cap in his hand.
And each step he takes is one half of a lifetime:
no word he would say could you understand.
So he bundles his regrets into a gesture of sorrow,
Bringing you love cap in hand.
Catching breath as he looks through the dining-room window:
candle lit table for two has been laid.
Strange slippers by the fire.
Strange boots in the hallway.
Put my cap on my head.
I turn and walk away.

2nd - This is an amazing song. In case you are wondering, the amazing first guitar riff was created by playing a fairly simple lead riff with a lot of distortion through a delay effects box set to a really long delay. After it was recorded, it was all turned backward so that the fade in, referse echo effect was created.
The middle is the genius of David Palmer, arranging the hell out the song. His work on this Songs from the wood and the other albums from this era was amazing.
Too bad the song itself is kinda depressing since it is about a LOSER such as you might find on the Philadelphia Eagles Football team.
