lyrics

LEAVE TO REMAIN

VERSE 1
A zillion spun amber lights disappear as
We climb through the cloud in the night, and it tears at
The no mans land of my heart, where’s my home now
Saying goodbye again beautiful Cape Town
Da, da, da, da, da, da

VERSE 2
I never travelled well, sudden change in
Time and place disorientating
Yet how many times have I crossed the equator
Flown high above the coast on the trail of
Swallows following the summer sunshine
Following the summer sun

CHORUS
Leave to remain
I got to leave to remain here
Leave to remain
I’ll probably end my days here

But I can’t take the endless grey
Or the dreary rain
Or those long, dark days from November
So I just got to leave to remain


VERSE 3
Now I’m back on the motorway, in the UK
Where the services all look the same, mm, mm, mm, mm
But May feels like a celebration
Hawthorn heaven and lace gently swaying
Fields of joy in the spring sunshine
Promising it all

CHORUS
Leave to remain
I got to leave to remain here
Leave to remain
I’ll probably end my days here

But I can’t take the endless grey
Or the dreary rain
Or those long, dark days from November
So I just got to leave to remain
Leave to remain

BRIDGE
I got my two tatted wrists as the evidence
That I’m just a fair-weather friend
My immigration status is all sorted
I have indefinite leave to remain

And though I’m grateful
There’s a difference
In how you feel under African sun
It sustains you, so that you crave to
Return and return again
Return and return again
Return and return again

CHORUS
Leave to remain
I got to leave to remain here
Leave to remain
I’ll probably end my days here
But i just got leave to remain

But I can’t take the endless grey
Or the dreary rain
Or those long, dark days from November
So I just got to get away
I gotta leave to remain
I gotta leave to remain
Leave to remain
