lyrics

She was walking cross George Square in the rain.
I was high. I was so high in a plane.
I was trying to see through the clouds,
Looking for places we’d been,
Like a sign, like a sunburst, like the letters in her name.

Oh girl, don’t change your hair for me now.
I am on your side.
No girl, don’t hide your hands from me now.
I am on my way down.

She was walking quite slowly all alone.
All the lights in the windows were aglow.
But the statues they were so silent,
With the rain splashing their heads.
How bad she wanted to hear them tell her which way is best.

Oh girl, don’t change your dress for me now.
I am on your side.
No girl, don’t hide your eyes from me now.
I am on my way down.
I am on my way down.

We were back in George Square when the rain gave way.
There’s something in how the spring comes so suddenly.
And the dress she wore was yellow.
And the rain was in her hair.
How bad I wanted to tell her that I would always be there.

So girl, don’t change, don’t change please don’t change.
I am on your side.
No girl, don’t hide your heart from me now.
I am on my way down.
I’ll be on your side.
I am on your side.
