Keane - Sovereign Light Cafe Lyrics

I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
Down Powdermill lane in the battlegrounds
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns

I didn't know what you thought of that night 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 going down on the Sovereign Light Café

I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
I'm a better man now than I was that day

Let's go down to the rides on east parade,
By the lights of the palace arcade
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café
Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
Take time, just the stars and 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 street side
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?

But you got nothing to hide,
You can't change who you really 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 and the Sovereign Light Café
