Bedsit Paradise

(album: Letter To America - 2011)

Don't know how love survives
When all I can do is to barely stay alive
Wish I could go back in time
To a bedsit paradise

She sat down next to me
Dunked her biscuit in my tea
You don't need sugar
You're sweet enough for me

Told me she was moving in
We'd be sharing everything
Baby, you and I in a bedsit paradise

Days of summer wine
We were laughing all the time
Partners in crime
I could love her without even trying
Baby, you and I
In a bedsit paradise

Only had a single bed
Got as close as two can get
Making love while Lennon sang Imagine

Stuck your posters on my wall
Che Guevara, John and Paul
They were looking down on nights of passion

Days of summer wine
Making love most of the time
Partners in crime
I could love her without even trying
Baby, you and I in a bedsit paradise

Time goes by
While we're dreaming of tomorrow
Turning tides while the love just ebbs away

A faded photograph or two
With pain all over you
Days of summer wine
We were laughing all the time
Won't you take me back in time
To a bedsit paradise

Thought those days would never end
You were my best friend
Partners in crime
I could love you without even trying

Days of summer wine
We were laughing all the time
Now I'm just a lonely guy
In a bedsit paradise
