SONGS I LOVE: “St. Paul’s Cathedral at Night”

Well, there’s no long story or anything here. Trembling Blue Stars is a band from London, and this song is from their 2001 album Alive To Every Smile. I just like the song, and thought I’d share.  Here are the lyrics:

Got a postcard from her:
“St. Paul’s Cathedral At Night”.
Spent a couple of days
Trying to read between the lines:
Now I don’t have to read between the lines.

Talking in an empty cinema,
Walking back through Parliament Square.
St. James’ Park at Christmas-time:
Glimpsing the lake through the evening lights.

I didn’t want want there to come an end to our time.
I know I’m in no position to miss her,
Shouldn’t hold her so close when she goes;
Still I wonder what she was thinking
As she traveled home.

Sad, but a great pop tune. Have a listen:
