lyrics

You lent me this book I found that I had to put it down
Hey I wanted to tell you but you were not around
The phrases were taking shape, gathered to take your place
Hey I wanted to tell you but you were not around

It’s nearly six weeks since I saw you
I’ve only just reached the second story
It’s nice and it might change my mind but it can’t walk me home
No it can’t walk me home

I’m not good with all these lights, Dalston’s a mess at night
Hey I wanted to tell you but you were not around
Who else would walk with me, humour me endlessly?
Hey I wanted to tell you but you were not around

It’s nearly six weeks since I saw you
I’ve only just reached the second story
It’s nice and it might change my mind but it can’t walk me home
No it can’t walk me home
No it can’t walk me home

Good example of why I like your music. Never frightened to adapt a traditional piece and to breathe new life into it, without taking away from the essence of the original. Inventive to the point of sheer brilliance! Long may it continue! renteddrumkit
