Lyrics
Nights upon the river
Moonlight on the stone
A student walks the old town
Carrying a tune he's known
Lonely songs of longing
Whispered to the wind
Guitars beneath the window
Telling where it all begins
Pre-Chorus
And the lights go out
One by one
The night holds its breath
Underneath the sun
Chorus
Oh Coimbra
Oh Coimbra
You keep my heart
You keep my heart
Post-Chorus
Ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Verse 2
Letters I have written
Never sent away
Dreams that float on water
Fading with the day
Cloaked in grey cathedral
I kneel but cannot pray
The past it holds me gently
And steals the words I'd say
Pre-Chorus
And the bells ring soft
Slow and deep
The city sings me
Back to sleep
Chorus
Oh Coimbra
Oh Coimbra
You keep my heart
You keep my heart
Bridge
Wandering through the corridors
Of memory and light
I count the steps I've taken
Into the endless night
Chorus
Oh Coimbra
Oh Coimbra
You keep my heart
You keep my heart
