I waited in a parked car

To see the world as it is

I wasn’t expecting a moment like this

She came round the corner

The wind pulled at her hair

She got into the passenger seat

“Take me anywhere”

I put my foot down and she rolled off

All the places in town that we could stop

“That’s not somewhere I would usually go”

But I’ll pull over “If you say so”

Pretty eyes and soft sound

We left the city with the windows down

Cos your smile was breaking down my walls

Like nothing ever mattered at all

“I’m not sure where we are now”

Somewhere south of the fountain

I fell in debt to ‘More than a Feeling’

The sun rolled down the windscreen

We were looking at darkness

We were laughing at whatever we started

She put her head down on the side of my seat

And kicked her shoes from off her feet

The road opened up like a river

As she said: “I’ll be fine as long as I’m with ya”

Pretty eyes and soft sound

We left the city with the windows down

Cos your smile was breaking down my walls

Like nothing ever mattered at all

“Shall we take the train now?

Leave for about a year?”

“I haven’t got any money”

“Doesn’t matter when I’m here”

So she pulled me closer

The cold still bit my skin

“I want to get to know ya

So where should I begin?”

Beautiful and gone now

She took a taxi from a cold town

Cos the horizon hit us on the road

And she wanted to find

Somewhere like home
