about

At a strange transitional point in life I found myself staying in a legendary local dive. There was blood from a syringe on the wall. One particularly noisy night I woke from unsettled sleep with this song fully formed in my head. I sat up and wrote and strummed it out, then recorded it very quietly (don't know why I bothered!).

lyrics

Come over here my dearest dear, its the middle of the night
Come over here my dearest dear and make it all alright
Out in the street the drunks are singing like a choir of caged birds
I've got a song, inarticulate, come whisper me the words

Come over here my dearest dear, I could send a car for you
Come over here my dearest dear, I'm waiting here. It's true
That there is a cord of silver light that runs between us - can't you see?
Take it gently between your fingers and follow it to me

Come over here, come over here

Come over here my dearest dear, tell me you're on your way
Come over here my dearest dear, there's not much more to say
I could this very hour climb the fire station tower, sing like a muezzin, of pure love
I'm on my knees facing your direction, come over here sweet dove

Come over here
