lyrics

Shuffling back up the stairs
Love suddenly scared of
The noises in the kitchen
Nervous hearted loneliness

Isn't it strange how the fear
That the ones we hold dear
Will fly away from us
Preoccupies our minds and bodies

But a picture of love
Took at the train station
Your eyes were enough
Tell me that you're tempted to dance
Tempted to give the foolish man I am
One more chance of love

And now I know that now you know
That I don't need a love that promises a thing
I just want to wake beside you in the morning
A little more often than I do

So put a little hope in your pocket
Tie a little ribbon round your love
If you're in a cage maybe kisses can unlock it
I for one would not find it that strange
If it were the one you love that you need the most
Every other morning with the tea and the toast

Cause we all need a little love
In the summer at night
Need a little love in the morning light my dear

And I need those loving arms
Once in a while
