Tell Me A Story

© Hazel O'Connor

Grey skies, up above
Smokey London ain't you got any love
Empty faces, they don't care
Nobody gives too much cos nobody dare
Nobody dare ah ha
Nobody dare ah ha

Sunshine comes out it seems
Brings to life light shattered dreams
Hopes and fears of all the years
Are met inside of these glistening tears
Oh the tears ah ha
Of the years ah ha
And you, I'm reaching for you to

Just tell me a story now
I listen to you
I've been lonely too
Just a story to crack the ice
I listen to you
I've been lonely too

I've seen scars all over the place
I've seen people who just couldn't keep up the pace
I've seen a man shot down dead
I've seen just another story
Everybody read in the news today ah ha
In the news today ah ha
You, I'm reaching for you to

Just tell me a story now
I listen to you
I've been lonely too
Just a story to crack the ice
I listen to you
I've been lonely too

I remember long before
So called friends came through that door
I remember but where are those friends now
You, I'm reaching for you to

Just tell me a story now
I listen to you
I've been lonely too
Just a story to crack the ice
I listen to you
I've been lonely too
