A Moving Story — текст песни (Squeeze)

(difford/tilbrook)



She moved from clapham

And didnt look back

Her life was changed in an instant

The van was filled up

And tied to the rack

Her home that now seemed so distant

Kissing goodbye

To her friends on the stairs

She felt a loss deep within her

Sat in the front seat with stuff everywhere

The neighbours said they would ring her

They moved to the sea front

And loved their new view

Of tides coming in on the shingle

She and her daughter

Found new things to do

At last it was good to be single

And in the summer

The place came alive

Lights on the pier in the evening

The fresh sea air

And could cut with a knife

Such a wonderful feeling



She worked in a pub

Where bands would appear

On a tiny stage in the corner

She watched them load in

With tattered old gear

The place would get like a sauna

London had gone now

Her new life was strong

She found herself a new karma

She fell for a man

Who played with a band

And took her life from its drama



She moved from clapham

And didnt look back

The past was neatly extinguished

He was much younger

But she lived with that

He struggled hard with his english

She felt his loving

And proudly reclaimed

All of the warmth shed been lacking

They lay in bed

Looking out at the rain

No more moving or packing



She moved from clapham

And didnt look back

Her life had changed in an instant
