Somers Town

[Verse 1]
Broken windows and red wine
Headlights on the road
She writes a word across my mind
Then we explode
From stage left the first light comes
She was telling me stories of kings and queens
That in the end the things they've done
Mean they only smile in their dreams
And it was four a.m.
And there was sheets of rain
And the paint around her windows was turning brown
Wait for me in Somers Town

[Verse 2]
She was never the same after shе found God
I remember thе fire in her brain
I was never the same after Chicago
I remember the sound of a distant train
She says its getting late
And then the levees break
Underneath a bridge, no one around
Wait for me in Somers Town

[Verse 3]
She rents a room inside my thoughts
And comes to stay this time of year
I heard she spent some time up north
I wonder if she knows she's here
And from stage left the decades climb
And every version that I've found
Of the beginning of time
Starts with a word or a sound

[Refrain]
Wait for me in Somers Town
Wait for me in Somers Town
Wait for me in Somers Town

[Outro]
There's a strange man lives in my house
Wears my boots and uses my name
I can't seem to throw him out
I remember the sound of a distant train
