Soho Square Lyrics - All I Ever Wanted: The Anthology - Kirsty Maccoll

Your name froze on the winter air 

An empty bench in Soho Square 

Forgotten, now I turn away 

Just save me for a rainy day 

But don't be sorry, I don't want to hear it, baby 

My feet froze in the winter chill 

I knew I'd probably get ill 

But I was praying we could fill an empty bench 

And still you're so sorry, but I don't want your pity, baby 

It's all yours now, please don't tease 

The pigeons shiver in the naked trees 

And I'll do anything but please don't hurt me 

Just kiss me quick 'cos it's my birthday 

And I feel so small I don't know why 

But no I'm not too old to cry 

An empty bench in Soho Square 

If you'd have come you'd have found me there 

But you never did 'cos you don't care 

And I'm so sorry, baby 

I don't mind loneliness too much 

But when I met you I was touched 

And that was good enough for me 

But do we always have to be sorry 

Why can't we just be happy, baby? 

One day you'll be waiting there 

No empty bench in Soho Square 

And we'll dance around like we don't care 

And I'll be much too old to cry 

And you'll kiss me quick 

In case I die before my birthday 

One day you'll be waiting there 

No empty bench in Soho Square 

No, I don't know the reason why 

I'll love you till the day I die 

But one day you'll be waiting there 

Come summertime in Soho Square 

And I'll be painting stars up in the sky 

Before I get too old to cry before my birthday 

I hope I see those pigeons fly before my birthday 

In Soho Square on my birthday
