COLOURS IN A LOVERS EYES

from Longshore Drift (Album) by Pat Orchard

/

lyrics

tulle she came
stepping shyly down from the train
beret and coat in hand
a freckled face from a sunny land

so pretty her dress
all flowers and summeryness
a rainbow in a pinstriped city
colourful and very pretty

and she said

ive been a good girl
for all of my life she said
ive been a good girl
but being good is stopping tonight

ill watch the sun come rising
putting colours in my lovers eyes
ill watch the sun come rising
and chase the moon from your skies

so together we drove
through a valley that was ladbroke grove
she told me all she had seen and done
about Spanish poets sangria and sun

and all of her words
they flew around me like tiny birds
she reached out and touched this man
in a way only love can

and i said

ive been a bad boy
for all of my life i said
ive been a bad boy
but being bad is stopping tonight
ill watch the sun come rising
putting colours in my lovers eyes
i'll watch the sun come rising
and chase the moon from your skies

we'll watch the sun come rising
