English Garden Lyrics - Seven Dials - Roddy Frame

I was on the corner, on borrowed time 

Waiting for the ghost inside me to be exorcised 

With the day it died and all the ways we tried and cast aside 

Came down for some air, I figured I'd find out what's inside 

Up in town she's looking in the mirror, seeing her best side 

Oh city lights, let tears she cried be done and dried 

See the swans on the Test 

Sailing by like life's a breeze 

You were the best 

Hurts to know it and it hurts to doubt it 

And there's nothing I can do about it 

Guess we're gonna have to live without it 

Used to be mine, I played while she sang 

Said someday we'd drive to Daymer Bay and walk along the sand 

Now in every room a different sorrow hangs 

And the past is like another place, it's a foreign land 

And still the river flows 

And the day will still begin 

And the flowers bloom in rows 

The way it's always been
