    Supermarket lights burn in the darkness
    The chilly winter nights bring the scarves from the drawer
    A crowd starts to gather on paving stone squares
    Teeth start to chatter as the staff leave the store

    And daughters meet mothers and fathers meet sons
    It's too dark to walk home without anyone

    The shopping precinct's closed, it's like a graveyard
    The chain falls through the spokes as i unlock my bike
    I cycle to the pub where i meet with my friends
    And i know that it's love as she pours me my pint

    And strangers meet strangers and friends share their lives
    I look at her again and feel butterflies

    I pull the pillow to my side
    And i imagine it is her
    As i slip into the night,
    I know what i prefer
    But i hope and i pray that one day she will say
    That's it's true
    I can't live without loving you

    Now there's no one around i push the bike home
    The rain's a lovely sound as it runs down the path
    There's our lights in the road, they amber the night
    And there's nobody home, so i soak in the bath
    And bubbles meet bubbles as they become one
    I think about the world and what i have done

    I pull the pillow to my side etc

    Supermarket lights burn in the darkness (repeat to fade)
