al stewart - elvaston place lyrics
elvaston place
a run-down bas-m-nt in south ken
hiding your face
behind the railings in the rain
stony steps to a small grey herd
of dustbins blinking in the sunlight
our yesterday lives
crouched by the fireside
in elvaston place
holes in the lace-
curtains, splintery window frames
a small furnished sp-ce
we never knew the landlord’s name
electric bar to warm your winter toes
evening paper for the bath mat
watching the face
happy beside me
in elvaston place
the city’s spreading like a stony tide across the countryside
i live alone now in london town
cars and buses everywhere, they hide the sun and eat the air
you need a friend when it gets you down
all the money that i’ve ever owned
i’d give it all tomorrow
if i could lay happy beside you
in elvaston place
elvaston place
i stopped to look at you today
new whitewashed face
behind the railings in the rain
you once held a love of mine
she changed just like the weather
the kensington skies go on for ever
in elvaston place
