All The Eastern Girls

My mind is a night garden
Heavy with shadow it stares
Your eyes adjust to the dark
All the eastern girls are wondering
Back from St. Martins
Skin all pale
I'm sold out in every department
Got nothing left for the world
Eyes won't adjust to the light

But all the eastern girls
They arrive like a king's pardon
To the sound of bells
Only just getting to know you
Running the flag up to claim it
Acted like i was you saviour
The shepard instead of the lamb

Night falls in and the skyline hardens
Colours dissolving untill
Faces are lost among the stars
All the eastern girls are like stars
As the night sharpens
They remind me of
Oh let's just wait and see if we take things too far
I think we should wait and see how we feel apart
Did i mean that or didn't i?
Did i know what i was saying?
One decade down and i just..

Only just getting to know you
Running the flag up to claim it
Acted like i was you saviour
The shepard instead of the lamb

Been walking around with my eyes closed
Keeping away from your windows
Fearful eviction horizons
But you took my life in your hands

All the eastern girls passing by
All the eastern girls remind me that
This is a love song
This is a love song
This is a love song
This is a love song
This is a love song
This is a love song
This is a love song
This is a love song

Shalalalalalalalalalala
Only just getting to know you
Running the flag up to claim it
Acted like i was you saviour
The shepard instead of the lamb
Been walking around with my eyes closed
Keeping away from your windows
Fearful eviction horizons
When you took my life in your hands
