作曲 : Sullivan | |
The caravan flipped over two, three times | |
Went spinning down the carriageway | |
Breaking up into splinters | |
Wheels turning around in the dust at the foot of the hill | |
And all the old clothes, the pots and pans and the photographs | |
The little things of those people's lives | |
Lay strewn across the road | |
Ch: We just want what we cannot have | |
We've driven so far, we can never get back | |
Sitting in the all night cafe in a curl of smoke | |
Telling tales of the road | |
By the glow of a flickering lighter | |
We went stumbling forward through the corridor | |
Up the broken stairway to the top of the trail of shattered glass | |
Damp mattresses in the doorway, an old abandoned take-away | |
Nothing much to tell us if and where you'd gone | |
By now you could be miles away | |
Ch: We just want what we cannot have | |
We've driven so far, we can never get back | |
Sitting in the all night cafe in a curl of smoke | |
Telling tales of the road | |
And everyone just keeps moving on, you turn around and find them gone | |
The lights go out one by one, the prodigal son is not coming home | |
Down at the Ferrybridge junction | |
Beneath the cooling towers a man stood hitching a ride | |
And in the long grass at the side of the road his son was laid asleep | |
He said - nothing's left to keep us in the city where we come from | |
Take us far away from here - looking for work and the wishing-well | |
This afternoon the sunlight spilled shadows across the golden hills | |
They searched us at the border but they're not looking for what we're hiding | |
They're not looking for what we're hiding | |
Ch: We just want what we cannot have | |
We've driven so far, we can never get back | |
Sitting in the all night cafe in a curl of smoke | |
Telling tales of the road |
