Children of the snow and the cold

Grow up to be strong hard to hold

Remember when you bent and touched the sky

You only lived to learn the reason why

You were soft and warm

I held you in the dark

The secrets that we keep

In Sanctuary Park

Highlights in your hair, your lipstick red

Listening to the Clash and Teenage Head

Trouble days at school your kilt too short

Smoking darts behind the tennis courts

You were soft and warm

I held you in the dark

The secrets that we keep

In Sanctuary Park

I wish that I had known you

Our paths had crossed back then

I would have been your first lover

More than merely friends

I would have held you close and felt your body heat

I would have tasted of your lips so soft and sweet

I would have kissed you in the dark

In Sanctuary Park

I still get the chills when I recall

The first time that I saw you in the hall

You were soft and warm

I held you in the dark

The secrets that we keep

In Sanctuary Park

You were soft and warm

I held you in the dark

The secrets that we keep

In Sanctuary Park
