She’ll remember how you left with the freedom in your chest And a shoulder to lean on to feel ultraviolet light Can you feel the surge of something lost returning Has much changed in the days we’ve been away? London orbital, I walked all through the night To be with you again Met you before they changed the road names around here Gave away our grace to the gutters Heard you’re back now, just to make it clear That we’re nothing like any of the others I see the silhouettes building in the darkness And the sweat hang in the air overhead Ecstatic memory, leaving your body And rising up where ultraviolet lives I’m the rain on your window pane at night I’m the voice of those who stood up to the fall Streetlights burn through the blossom undisturbed By the breezes that left town before your call
