Keane - Sovereign Light Café lyrics

I'm going back to a time when we owned this town Down Powdermill Lane and 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 in Marley Lane In every building, every street sign 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 Sha-la-la-la-la la-de-day Yeah I'm going where the people know my name
