Lyrics

Portobello Serenade

see them walk like strangers do
Portobello’s morning dew
notes of sunlight through their kiss

still got childhood in his eyes
when the rain’s good it tastes like sky
see them coy like fugitives

and the music is love looking for words
and then when it comes
it’s something like I ain’t ever heard
killing me slowly, melody and time
one day will unclose me
like summer wine

there stopped clocks on forgotten walls
time don’t fly round there no more
lonesome lotteries of the night

with people shuffling everywhere
I know there’s someone in there
there’s somebody who just might

and the music is memory looking for words
and then when it sends me its something
like I ain’t ever heard
killing me slowly, melody and time
one day will unclose me
like summer wine
