Regent's Park

(album: To Let A Good Thing Die - 2020)

I must have sent four hundred poems on the way you used to smile at me
I used to write them for you daily but my thumbs are running dry lately
No one wants to hear a song about the bitch that broke my heart
I should've listened to my mama, she saw through you from the start

But now we're here in Regent's Park amongst the flowers
And I wish it would rain
'Cause in the sun, you look so lovely that I'm falling for you over again
Since I have nothing left to say that will make you change your mind
I'll say goodbye on a beautiful spring day

There was a place not too dissimilar to this one where I first saw your face
You look like home, sat all alone
I shoulda found somebody cheaper to chase
Tragically, nobody told me how expensive you could be
I lost more than money, dear, you knocked the swagger out of me

But now we're here in Regent's Park amongst the flowers
And I wish it would rain
'Cause in the sun, you look so lovely that I'm falling for you over again
Since I have nothing left to say that will make you change your mind
(Make you change your mind)
I'll say goodbye on a beautiful spring day
