"Alexandra Park" lyrics

I'm on a hillside
Looking out from Alexandra Park
With all the city streets laid out for me
And I don't know where to start
I can see the river from here
With all the canal boats on their way
And I remember a time, when the future was blind
But I knew all the right things to say

You have always been so much better
Better at this than me
So I hope I see your face again
And I can show you what I mean

This city is peaceful
This city is fine
This city is not quite what I'm used to
But this city is mine

And it's warm into the night
The summer might finally be here
And I can walk all the way home from Manvers Street
And let the evening disappear

You have always been so much better
Better at this than me

This city is peaceful
This city is fine
This city is not quite what I'm used to
But this city is mine

And if you can see me
I'm wearing your favourite cardigan
And I want to meet you on the hillside
Back in Alexandra Park again
