James Yorkston - The Brussels Rambler lyrics

So, so strange and so, so good to see you What I'd do without a doubt To relive those long summer weeks The blaze in the sky showed me up for who I was Despite my best intentions of dignity My heroic opening line was stuttered and all wrong It left you looking foolish but Jesus, your look, so fragile It's caught me unaware and I so want to hold you The serious has become hidden But only in movements and gestures The Brussels train shook my skeleton, it's long winds? My threats to derail would amuse me But I regret every mile I put in between us The simplest of words, I tried to tell you of your value But I was tired from the travel And you'd heard them long before When we were sure and close And my wise words you believed I far regretted every mile I put in between us
