Left At The Lights

In my heart I carry a photograph

It’s the one of you and me

Trying not to laugh

Hats and shades on

Close as close can be

Hand in hand

Catching spray from the sea

 

So where did you go

On those cold lonely nights

You left me here

You left me

Left At the Lights

 

In my heart we made love on the sands

Under the big beacon fire

My t-shirt in your hands

Laughing at the weather

You waiting for me to tire

Lovers entwined

Driving on, driving higher

 

So where did you go

On those cold lonely nights

You left me here

You left me

Left At the Lights.

 

Did you hear my heartbeat

Go crack on the concrete

Did you see my tears turn to the sky

Making new rainclouds

As you spread your wings and fly.

 

So where did you go

On those cold lonely nights

You left me here

You left me

Left At the Lights.

 

You’re off falling in love

While I’m here falling apart

You’re off falling in love

While I’m here falling apart.
