The Way I Spoke - beabadoobee

Think I saw you on the bus just yesterday

Wearing that blue shirt you said you liked that day

The image now is just blurred in my mind

But do you recall the time we talked?

The day you held my hand?

We were by a station

The sky was dark in sight

The moon was out but the sun was in your eyes

No one talked but I did

You listened

You said you liked the way I spoke

I think I saw you in my dream last night

It was cold with lots of pretty lights

The image now is just blurred in my mind

But do you recall the time we talked?

The day you kissed me?

We were by an archway

With flowers cascading round the roof

Standing under my winter coat to shelter us

You said you liked the way I spoke

And if you’d like to hold my hand

It would bring back all the things we had

And if God were to take that all away

Wouldn’t that be a shame?
