lyrics

Well a nightingale sang tonight in Barkly Square
I fell from the Brunswick Hotel found her there
She were riding through the car park and singing to the rain
I put down my case so it began
Oh she sang a song so pure
She might have been channeling something I’m not sure
She opened up another channel to the human heart

You can tell how a heart’s been broken
By the way it walks through the door
Some will meet your gaze some will search the floor
Some will want to know if it will ever happen again
Some will steel themselves for when it happens again
Knowing and needing and hoping on a cure
Knowing that it reaches you when you’re unsure
She opened up another channel to the human heart

And roads will rise and meet up with clear bright eyes
To defy the dangers of the four chambers
Of the human heart

The very fountain of desire the very fountain of delight
Was she riding in and out of the shadows or in and out of the light?
It’s another kind of failure it’s another kind of fall
That leads you into the arms of someone you don’t know at all
Knowing and needing and hoping on a cure
Knowing that I love you don’t mean that much no more
She opened up another channel to the human heart

Well a nightingale sang tonight in Barkly Square
I fell from the Brunswick Hotel found her there
She were riding through the car park and singing to the rain
I put down my case so it began
Oh she sang a song so pure
She might have been channeling something I’m not sure
She opened up another channel to the human heart

And roads will rise and meet up with clear bright eyes
That defy the dangers of the four chambers
Of the human heart



Two little boats in the heavens
Two little boats on the seas
Two little boats together
Two little boats you and me
