Lyrics

Obvious

Horses and trees, bracken and leaves
The wave goodbye
I heard her sigh
Johnny, Claire, where have you been?
So far away
"I came home on my own"
I heard her say

I remember vividly
Looking back now I can see
It's obvious
On that bench on Christmas Eve
Looking back now I can see
It's obvious

A tainted love, a souvenir
You said they didn't try
Thames Hotel, a web of lies
They can't untie
Johnny, Claire, where have you been?
So far away
"I came home all alone"
I heard her say

I remember vividly
Looking back now I can see
It's obvious
On that bench on Christmas Eve
Looking back now I can see
It's obvious

Horses and trees, bracken and leaves
The wave goodbye
I heard her sigh
Johnny, Claire, where have you been?
So far away
"I came home on my own"
I heard her say

I remember vividly
Looking back now I can see
It's obvious
On that bench on Christmas Eve
Looking back now I can see
It's obvious

Obvious
Obvious
