about

Track 2 from the debut album, 'The Red Room'

lyrics

Under golden sun I saw your face
And watched your flowers to the pace
Of music for the summer wines
And on your life I marked these lines

Of memories, of name and place
And wrote you down, just in case
The petals of the summer bloom
Might suddenly float in scarlet plume

From the perfect picture, away from me
With a sceptic stricture, I did not flee
This denial I prepared to see
But it was not to be

Neon bulbs and halogen lamps
The sun of yours was held in clamps
The artificial voice of you
You took a pencil and you drew

A mere sketch, a piece of art
The quintessential paper heart
The flowers in the summer bloom
Decorate to brighten gloom

You can be bought for decent price
But I will give them good advice
You may look like the real thing
But counterfeit – your heart it sings
