Sovereign Light Café

I'm going back to a time
When we owned this town
Down Powdermill Lane
In the battlegrounds
We were friends and lovers
And clueless clowns

I didn't know I was finding out
How I'd be torn from you
When we talked about things
We were gonna do
We were wide-eyed dreamers
And wiser too

We'd go down to the rides
On East Parade
By the lights
Of the Palace Arcade
And watch night coming 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
And 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
To take turns as the stars
Of the Sovereign Light Café

I wheel my bike off the train
Up the North Trade Road
And look for you on Marley Lane
In every building, in every street side
Oh, why did we ever go
So far from home

Well, you've 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
And 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
To take turns as the stars
Of the Sovereign Light Café

Shalalala la la di day
Yeah, I'm going where the people know my name
Yeah, I'm going where the people know ...
