A Love Outgrown Lyrics - Marc Almond

When I was seventeen 

I was chasing after dreams 

In southport 

I had to get away 

Or end up in a nursing home alone 

When I was seventeen 

I had a special love 

And southport 

Didn't seem a bad place after all 

On the promenade 

The carnival facade is peeling 

And the floral clock 

Has stopped a moment caught in time 

Such a sad decay 

Well, it's something like the way I'm feeling 

For such a dream so big 

Southport seemed a little bit too small

And I was still naive 

I really did believe in magic 

Thought I had found a love 

And treasured it above all else 

But then I looked beyond 

I saw another life was waiting 

I was chasing after dreams 

I had to find them by myself 

I hope you understand 

Such a love could never be 

The sea has turned my soul 

And it aches to be free 

I will always think 

Of southport at the fair 

Summer on the beach 

The fun that we had there 

Photos 

With southport in my mind 

But las vegas in my heart 

I set out to search for the stars 

But every dream I dream 

Follows where you've been 

And it's tearing my heart apart 

When I was seventeen 

I left to find my dream 

From southport 

January came 

I blame myself for out goodbyes 

Nothing is so sad 

As the sea side out of season 

And nothing is so sad 

As you and i 

When I was seventeen 

I was chasing after dreams 

In southport 

I had to get away 

Or end up in a nursing home alone 

And now it seems I'd never been 

A boy of seventeen 

In southport 

It didn't last 

A lifetime passed 

A love outgrown 

Was it all a dream 

Or was it all for real 

I'm standing on the pier 

I'm trying not to feel 

The tears are in my eyes 

Your face is in the sand 

I'm trying to look down 

I'm reaching out my hand 

I'm falling to the wind 

I'm waiting for the sea 

But the sea is never in 

It's never in for me 

In southport 

(it's never in for me) 

(repeat and fade)
