Laura

(album: Growing Up In Public - 1992)

I can hear the ocean pushing t the bay
If I close my eyes then maybe it'll go away
Everywhere there're sunlight and
Children play for time thought I heard a sign then
I realised it was mine

The sky's a perfect blue again
But if you look it's hard to tell
If it's paradise or hell

But now I know, Laura
Summer is a lonely place
Oh, Laura
I wish I could see your face

When a million birds sing how can I be sad
It's s if they know I lost the only chance I had

The sky's a perfect blue again
But it might as well be grey
'Cause I let you walk away

But now I know, Laura
Summer is a lonely place
Oh, Laura
I wish I could see your face
Oh, Laura
I kissed you in the rain
Oh, Laura
How I wish I was home again

In winter I was warmer
Don't make me wait here alone
The sun has cast its shadow
And it chills me to the bone

Oh, Laura
How I wish I was coming home

The sky's a perfect blue again
But it might as well be grey
'Cause I let you walk away

But now I know, Laura
Summer is a lonely place
Oh, Laura
I wish I could see your face
Oh, Laura
I kissed you in the rain
Oh, Laura
How I wish I was home again
