The Essex Green - Chartiers Lyrics
You were down when I met you, butDeep in your eyes I could see the signWith a thousand drummers drumming,And a hundred singers singing songs of love.Whatever they knew about itLoveWhatever it meant to themSo we all met up after schoolAnd you took us home into your roomYou's skip class and drummed all daySo I put my books down and picked up the cameraWas it you that I filmed?You'd runAnd I'd followI'd stayed and you'd goneShe was in Chicago where the streets are pavedWith all those names of our heros And our dreams we triedBut the house was raised And left an empty lotI know that you won't cry about itHidingHiding the tears in your eyesYou'd runAnd I'd follow,I've stayed and you've goneSo far in late OctoberThe nights are darker without you here
