lyrics

On old Becketts' sofa
Tired, hungover
She nestled in my arms
A round of toast and
A mug of tea in my hand
I couldn't feel more calm

So comfortable and close at our friendship's start

I wanted to marry her then
Marry her there and then

On a Sheffield platform
Cuddling to keep warm
She kissed me full and long
And she so won over
My parents and my brother
It never once felt wrong

These times I wonder how we ever drifted so apart

I want to share a bed with her
Wake up late with messy hair
The coffee cups and cats appearing round the door
She's the girl I wished for
And she's the girl I miss more

She's down in London now
I hope she's following her heart

I want to share a bed with her
Wake up late with messy hair
The coffee cups and cats appearing round the door
She's the girl I wished for
I want to share a bed with her
Wake up late with messy hair
The cats and coffee cups covering the floor
She's the girl I wished for
And she's the girl I miss more

On old Becketts' sofa
Tired, hungover
She nestled in my arms...
