lyrics
Burnt into the film with her shadowed cheek
Bathed and baptized in the early day
Uncontrollable laughter, your skin flushed
Wallprint peeling in the morning hush
Then on through her whiskey afternoon
Northumbrian melody floating the room
Kilting her skirts above her knee
And stepping out over the clutter
Of a tired town square that looked like Stow
All churns and stocks and shutters ajar
The gargoyle fountain-head's mouth was dry
He stared with green copper stained tears
Farewell to days of swearing with market cross drunks
In the dead of summer when the pavement stunk
Farewell to mutton chop cannery men
With tedium pouring down there backs
It's all gone like an echo, like a whisper of verse
Dreams of a union, distant but clear
Faded yellow squares pasted in pages
Crumbling totems of the folly and the years
Serenaded by snarls out of Finsbury Park
I chased my breath in the Midwest dark
And I saw her standing of another shore
Burnt into the film for evermore.
