lyrics

We meet in the same place we do twice a week
Where your hair turns to straw – turned by the sea breeze
And the reflection of the harbour lights
Just pulls me further into your eyes
Oh me, oh my

But that’s barely a breeze so you make barely a sound
You speak quieter now for the quiet that surrounds us
And the creaks and shudders of the hulls
Are all we have for company, for now

And tomorrow those boats will be gone
And I will wish one took us on
But we’ll still wait
Though you will say and say
You would run
You would run, run, run
You would run, run, run

Really?
Truly?
Will you run?

Or will we, we still, we still
Will we, we still, we still
Slip like foxes to this place?

You can chide me
I’m an impetuous thing
You can curse the slight cold
Keep your hands to your sleeves
I’ve told myself many, many times
It’s not for your own sake that you stay behind
Your father yes he’s a character
And your mother still wishes he’ll marry her
But you can wait a lifetime for another
To want for what you do
Especially a fool
Oh! I want to dance you to the edge of town
Beyond that cruel horizon for once for all
All time

Won’t you speak?
They say you’re not so shy
And I’ve seen them map you with their eyes
And perhaps they’re just boys being boys
But what they’ll privately desire
They will publicly deny
And I have heard too many times
Of women tried for crimes
It’s said they’ve provoked with the blink of an eye
With the brushing of a thigh
And I, I may talk a lot like the rest
And in some ways I’m like the rest
(I would see that blush move from your cheek down to your breast)
But I’m different
I’m different
And there’s a wonderful life across the sea
There’s a wonderful life across the sea
There’s a wonderful life, a wonderful life, a wonder
Just beyond me

Will we, we still, we still
Will we, we still, we still
Stay, just growing older
