On Michael Street Lyrics

On Michael street we convalesce

The neighbours speaking Polish do most of the talking

In the wild garden wrapped in blankets

We watch the solar lights open their eyes at night

I'm afraid of this cowardly condition,

Though I'm here of my own volition

Spent by the sun and my skin is stinging

Excuse the pun but you are beaming

And I love you with no expectation

Sometimes I'm rattled by your name

Immovable rest upon your chest

I hear the grass grow

Today devoid of confusions

Inadvertently I make my way towards drainage

Confidently ploughing into my youth

On Michael street we boiled two eggs

You gave me a look of want I dug deep

And passed the plate around

Of your body I am conscious of your being I am in awe

Walking barefoot across the kitchen you spoke of the wonders of trust

Fresh flowers and Brazilian music

There was a rhythm in the room of the home

We've come a long way since Christ Church in the cold

And I love you with no expectation

Sometimes I'm rattled by your name

Immovable rest upon your chest I hear the grass grow

Today devoid of confusions Inadvertently I make my way towards drainage

Confidently ploughing into my youth

On Michael street we convalesce
