Lyrics
Verse 1
Narrow pavement bends
Beneath the shops that do not close
A copper penny
Twirls across the gutter stones
Pre-Chorus
Look past the glass
Between the mannequins and clocks
Counting backwards
Until the iron shutter locks
Chorus
Wait at the high street corner
Where the gray tiles glow
In a silver fountain
Falling from the arch of May
Where the wind begins to say
Your name is a secret held by every day
Verse 2
Cobwebs made of wire
Swing above the market stall
Shadows getting taller
Climbing up the yellow wall
Pre-Chorus
Read the signs
Letters shifting in the rain
Painted symbols
Fading from a heavy chain
Chorus
Wait at the high street corner
Where the gray tiles glow
In a silver fountain
Falling from the arch of May
Where the wind begins to say
Your name is a secret held by every day
Bridge
He came, he watched, he stayed
Nothing ever quite remains
Except the pattern
Woven through the copper drains
Woven through the copper drains
Guitar Solo
Chorus
Wait at the high street corner
Where the gray tiles glow
In a silver fountain
Falling from the arch of May
Where the wind begins to say
Your name is a secret held by every day
Post-Chorus
High street dreaming
Quietly steaming
Bright and beaming
Day after day after day after day
Outro: Guitar solo
Instrumental: Fade out to full silence
