lyrics

We were down on Wilson Street - after the rain
With a friend that you just had to meet - every now and again
And we laughed at the passing parade - in the afternoon heat

I listened to you
Whenever you called
I listened to you
That’s what started it all

The satellites, the hidden bend, the twist and turn
The final chance, each time we fall, a new excuse
The second sight, your perfect eyes, each new disguise

It was spring when we finally left town - on different trains
I kept moving while you settled down - with another name
As the notes become further apart - this way things change

I listened to you
Whenever you called
I listened to you
That’s what started it all

The final chance, each time we fall, the double take
Your second sight, your perfect eyes, each new disguise
The mission bell, the curvature, my lonely heart

So if you tire of the cul-de-sacs - and what remains
But you can’t seem to find your way back - it’s all changed
To the promises made in the dark - say it again

I’d listen to you
If ever you called
The secrets we knew
I remember them all.

The open field, these empty hands, this time machine
The quiet voice, the lost success, the ringing tone
The vapour trail, the counting down, the double take
