Cynicism Free

[Verse 1]

Said that I was done with love songs

No more fairytales and shooting stars

Only to turn into jagged battle scars

Thought that I would be forever

Wandering this world all on my own

Following the sunset like a rolling stone

But I rolled into your path

And the timing wasn't right

No I had to stop the world to catch your eye

Since I rolled into your path

All the colours burn more bright

Now I'm staring down the barrel

Of this big blue sky

[Chorus]

So come on make me shiver

Just a little quiver

Like the rolling river runs into the sea

I'll be heading for you

From the day I saw you

There was nowhеre in the world I'd rather bе

Fill my days with laughter

Happy ever after

I thought it wasn't for the likes of me

But since you showed what love could be

I'm cynicism free

[Verse 2]

So wake me up with Sunday pancakes

Drive me through the Broads out to the coast

Swimming in the secret beaches we love most

To end up in an armchair somewhere

Huddled by a fireside salty skin

Picking up a scrabble game I'll never win

And when the sunlight's fading out

And the waves erase our tracks

We'll listen to Armatrading

All the whole drive back

Carrying a conversation on

That has lasted all these months

No we've not got bored of talking once

So…

[Chorus]

Come on make me shiver

Just a little quiver

Like the rolling river runs into the sea

I'll be heading for you

From the day I saw you

There was nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Fill my days with laughter

Happy ever after

I thought it wasn't for the likes of me

But since you showed what love could be

I'm cynicism free

[Verse 3]

And when I meet you off the train after a week away

We come bursting out with things we need to say

And you come walking off the towpath

The wind in your hair

And when I see you there

It's like being on the dance floor 1 a.m.​

When they play Like A Prayer

Oh darling, take me there

So

[Chorus]

Come on make me shiver

Just a little quiver

Like the rolling river runs into the sea

I'll be heading for you

From the day I saw you

There was nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Fill my days with laughter

Happy ever after

I thought it wasn't for the likes of me

But since you showed what love could be

I'm cynicism free

Come on make me shiver

Just a little quiver

I'm cynicism free

Just a little shiver

Like the rolling river

I'm cynicism free

Come on make me quiver

Just a little shiver

I'm cynicism free

Just a little shiver

Like the rolling river

I'm cynicism free
