lyrics

The stone in my fruit is drying out
The worries in my suitcase are empty now
But I will keep carrying my doubts
For the train that led me here

Has gone away
deep into Europe
leaving me stranded
with only you

The grapes round your neck swing with each step you take
closer to my bedroom where all your dresses lay:
like totems of a love;
fallen chandeliers;
the remnants of two lives about to appear as one

How are things I London now I’m out of town?
Are you drunk on the freedom that my exit gave?
Is the old Turkish store-keeper’s eyes on your back?
Do you wear my favourite shirt striped white and black?

These new city walls;
new city rules;
will not hold me back

As the grapes round your neck swing with each step you take
closer to my bedroom where all your dresses lay:
like totems of a love;
fallen chandeliers;
the remnants of two lives about to appear as one
