lyrics

Primrose Road

On Primrose Road we shook hands and I wondered
what was in the deal for me - behind your back
are you some kind of melancholy angel
sent now and then, to see if I’ll crack
There are decades that fall around us
we've heard some dark years chime
but if there’s any more Gethsemanes
I’ll stay awake this time

When the cold winds blow I’ll be your shelter
in the winter of your soul
the least I can do is to be around
down on Primrose Road

And here in the heart of a heart that’s hidden
where well used wisdom is bought and sold
charms and diamonds that you would recognise
masquerading as sweet and bold
I ran into a seer
I knew I could not hide
it was a strange kind of freedom
from my barricaded pride

Look away with your perfect smile
and the kind of eyes, I sure recognise
I broke down on the second mile
the bad fruit all gets cut down to size
