From the recording CousteauX
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
