Kentish Town

(album: Love And Its Opposite - 2010)

The street where you lived
Houses all gone
Run down state
Where once was your home

I found the church where you went
And I stood where you stood
It didn't feel the same
But I came back again
I knew I would

It sounds like the country (sounds like)
If you didn't know (if you didn't know)
Here all around me (here all around)
My family ghosts

Each day I walk up this hill
The one you took to the fair
And I imagine you there
I see your hair

It's too long ago now
To be undone
A second or an year
Once gone is gone

I pushed open the door
And I stood where you stood
I tried not to blink
And I tried not to think
I had one more drink
I knew I would
