Keane - Sovereign Light Cafe lyrics

rate me

I'm going back to the time when we owned this town

Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds

We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns

I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you

When we thought about things we were gonna do

We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too

Go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade

Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say

Or I'm turning back home and I'm walking away

I'm a better man now than I was that day

Go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade

Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

Go down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear

Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

I wheel my bike off the train,

Up the North Trade Road,

Look for you on Marley Lane

In every building, every streetlight

Oh why did we ever go so far from home?

You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are

You can get a big house and a faster car

You can run away boy, but you won't go far

Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade

Watch night going down on the Sovereign Light Café

Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear

Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

La la la la la la la laYeah,

I'm going where the people know my name

La la la la la la la laYeah,

I'm going where the people know my name
