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
