Powder Blue

We've listened to so many records

I've smoked so many fags

There's still a bottle of wine in one of them carrier bags

The world is spinning

Slowly outside in Holloway

The birds have started singing

So can't we just stay

On and off the sofa

The candles nearly out

Our pop star friends have all gone home

Or maybe just out and about

And I can feel you dreaming

And I'm dreaming of you

Together slowly drifting

Into the powder blue

La la la la la

La la la la la la

Aretha Franklin playing

Ann singing along, quite quietly

She knows the whole song

And all the backing vocals

In a dreamy kind of way

The birds have started singing

So can't we just stay?

Can't we just stay?

The world is giving up

And there's just me and you

Together slowly drifting into the powder blue

Into the powder blue
