Do you know me?
I walk aimlessly along your night time streets,
Along winding roads, and valleyed crescents,
Struggling to drag my blistered feet in lessons,
Of beautiful romance,
NOT
Real romance,
But, you know,
The feeling of silent conversational meeting,
Where still air is spilled, but somehow there is meaning.
Along this deserted road where silence is screaming,
I never would have expected to meet anyone like you.
Do you know me?
Do you remember any fragments of my face,
Or any of the words that filled our space?
Are there lessons to be learned about stranger and her friends,
Because I’m starting to feel so alone again,
As the cold sun arises and you move away,
Oh I shouldn’t trust stranger and all of her friends.
Oh I shouldn’t trust stranger and all of her friends.
Lorne Park, your streetlights tend to rot,
The night time doesn’t last as long as I remember.
And while stranger lays down to sleep,
I lay awake and hold myself in my arms.
Keeping myself away from harm,
Waiting for the awakening of the cold sun.
Lorne park,
I’ll be sneaking around with you,
After dark,
We’ll be searching for things to do.

"A singer-songwriter with a devastating ear for harmonies and a delicate touch with lyrics that slide perfectly into a
horrid winter. There's a definite Celtic touch, but far sweeter than something like Mumford & Sons." - Andrew Fifield (Metro News)
