Beirut – Mimizan

 

• from the record: Dark Was The Night
• The lines are on board, it’s quiet offshore
  But the wind blows

  The children are here but the women just stare
  From the windows

  See the lawns outside, groomed green lawns,
  Oh how they glow

  And I spotted you there with curlers in hair
  On the telephone

  And I, longed for you.
  Yes I, long for you.

  Oh I’ll move for you.
  Yes, I’ll move for you

  Years spin round on the floor,
  As the maid sweeps dust
  And leaves form the back door.

  My heart could be yours
  Within dreams we’re free
  But you’d always ask for more.

  So I’ll move for you
  Yes, I’ll move for you

  Oh I’ll move for you.
  Oh I’ll move for you.
