lyrics

It’s 9 O’Clock Monday night and I’m just waiting to hear the jingle of your keys
You’ve been away so long I draw the lines of your face
On a bottle that’s so cold my finger freeze
So come home, please

It seems like hours or is it days that I’ve been staring at a quiet telephone
If your voice could break the silence then my eyes would open wide
I’d pull you in and hold you close and warm
Out of that storm

If I had a choice, I’d choose to spend my days with you
We would run the streets of this town, darling, in the pouring rain
We could rest a while then do it all again
Just tell me when

It’s just a thought that comes to me every now and then
And there’s a dance that I’m rehearsing in the back of my mind
I’ll share it with you one day in good time
All in good time

Sometimes I rush
Sometimes I fail to say the things that linger in this beating heart
But I should let you know I never doubted you’re the one for me
I feel it hit me every time we part
Maybe I should start to not deny you all the secrets of my heart
Cos I’ve spent too long down here in these valleys of neglect
And I trust you with the words that I impart
You’ll know my heart

Now I can hear your steps
Your keys they jingle as you open up the door
I see you smile and hug you like it’s been ten long years
Please tell me that you’ll stay forevermore
Stay forevermore
