lyrics
As I made my way down the white wooden pier,
The wind sang your tune and it played in my ear.
The starlings dance like a flame on the air,
I feel like you’re here in Brighton.
With our backs to the cold by the penny arcade,
Throwing money of old for a bucket and spade.
Our shadows drew long, but together remained,
'Til you took your last breath in Brighton.
So I’d wait by the light of the moon.
I thought you were coming home,
But you left me with starlings calling your name,
Calling your name.
The cracked pebbled lanes took my footing from me,
And the blinding night lights took my eyes.
I drank many nights by pavilion and sea,
You left me forsaken in Brighton.
So I’d wait by the light of the moon.
I thought you were coming home,
But you left me with starlings calling your name,
Calling your name.
[I saw you waiting, under the light of the moon.
I heard the starlings too.]
So I made my way down the white wooden pier,
The wind sang your tune and it played in my ear,
The starlings dance like a flame out of air
I feel you’re still here in Brighton.

we’re just as confused as you are.
