Got a pocket full of loose change

and a ticket for the next game

i'd take you but you don't talk much

hiding behind your name



wouldn't see you in a small crowd

don't know what it is that i've found

you're bigger than i ever am

funny how things turn out



some say that you are a future bride

i've seen for myself that they are right

whenever you play those forty fives

something comes alive



caught a shadow at your window

can't imagine you in stage clothes

and fairy lights singing like

the stars you seem to know



can i listen in your bedroom

see the pictures that enchant you

in time alone you let go

it's just the way you choose



some say that you are a future bride

i've seen for myself that they are right

whenever you play those forty fives

something comes alive
