Alison wrote this song after a weekend away in Amsterdam. While away in Amsterdam she saw a night house film. Throughout the experience she began to notice how many people in the cinema were getting up and leaving half way through. Alison, sitting though the entire thing spoke of how the ending was...
I fell into a cinema
Watching pictures in a dream
Shifting the fidget into still
Nine other people took their leave
No humping bones or filigree
Grace and nature mimicry
All but took me to my knees...
You jump too soon
And miss all this
Now something beautiful happens
All there is this beautiful meetings
We wait on, we wait on
It moved as slow as slow can be
Half eaten words of earth and sea
I didn't feel it touching me...
You jump too soon
And miss all this
Now something beautiful happens
All there is this beautiful meetings
We wait on, we wait on
I fell into a cinema
I didn't know where else to be
Sitting out a trip or three
I thought I want frippery
Fat girl five seats down and me
Concave and blinking at the scene
Rolling credits on the screen...
You jump too soon
And miss all this
Now something beautiful happens
All there is this beautiful meetings
We wait on, we wait on
