lyrics

In the dead of winter – grey and neutral tones
Fading into evening, and I'm hoping that she phones
Getting sentimental, staring at the floor
These grey and neutral evenings – god there's nothing I
hate more

But I say: Pull yourself together, try to swim against the tide
The way you carry on you'd think your dearest friend
had died
So I'm trying to remember all my favourite things
But I'm going under, sinking fast, when suddenly it rings

Breaking to the surface, sucking in the air
I pick up the receiver and I'm certain you'll be there
And inside half an hour you'll be walking through that door
These grey and neutral evenings – god there's nothing I
like more

I pour myself a drink – I just can't wait till you arrive
Because every sense and every nerve I've got has come alive
It doesn't get much better than the sound of two guitars
And White City in the distance shining brighter than
the stars

My mind has got so clouded with the habits of the years
I'm only really living for these moments when it clears
It's an old song, but everything seems new
Lights moving through White City, and one of them is you
