Say You'll Be Mine

(album: Wake Up, It's Morning - 2023)

I'm pushing five, you're an easy ten
When I was singing, I saw you there
You flew to Cape Town, stayed days on end
Are we becoming much more than friends?

Trying to work it out
My pockets are full of doubt

But I won't stop hoping
Most of the time
And I know I'm coping by
Looking for signs
In the stars, in the clouds
In the tea leaves at my grandma's house
But they don't show me if
You will be mine
Say you'll be mine

We're short on money, went back to work
I made my record in Johannesburg
Played thirty seconds, one night at Wolves
It raised the question, what are the rules?

Are we playing it cool, is this forever?
Will you be a fool for me forever
My pockets are full of doubt
I can't say the words out loud

But I won't stop hoping
Most of the time
And I know I'm coping by
Looking for signs
In the stars, in the clouds
In the tea leaves at my grandma's house
But they don't show me
If you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine

Say you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine

I booked the table, I bought a ring
I think I thought of everything
We watched the rain on London streets
Was a cold, cold night in January

There in the candlelight
Waiting for your reply

But I won't stop hoping
Most of the time
And I know I'm coping by
Looking for signs
In the stars, in the clouds
In the tea leaves at my grandma's house
But they don't show me if
You will be mine
Say you'll be mine

Say you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine
