Alloway Grove

Grant my last request and just let me hold you
Where the summer had not touched the clouds that pass above
L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la
And I've found that I'm bound
They say she's left a letter up the stairs for everyone
No more Northern skies for her
I'll love you more and more and more and more

However much I loved you, you will always love me more
The great sense of passing through
The great sense of passing through
That’s sweeter than an apple picked from Adam's tree, oh glory be!

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me
And I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
And sure I can accept that we're going nowhere
And I’m the wiser than the fool that I was before

L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
Of the days too early to come and too early to stay
And sure I can accept that we're going nowhere
L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la
I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la
The girl I'm missing’s been in London for a while

It's pinned against her bedroom door for all the world to see
Heartache and poetry
I have returned to the Northern skies
And said to all those men that she has said to me before

L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la
L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la
The great sense of passing through
Oh, getting off the train to see a girl
And I realized all about your lies
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere

And I wonder if she's been pressed against an unfamiliar wall
Remember how this used to be
L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la
I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
But one last time let's go there, oh, lay down beside me

However much you use me baby, come on use me more
Oh for once there was beauty here for me

And I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more

Oh and I have returned to the somber greens
Under these Northern skies

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
I just want you closer, is that alright?
I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
The great sense of passing through
And I have left a million stars
Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more

And a million adventures not yet begun
Under these white Northern skies
Grant my last request and just let me hold you
I'll love you more and more and more and more
The great sense of passing through
L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la
Grant my last request and just let me hold you

I wonder if she's said to them as she said to me before
I wonder if she's been naked in her room since I've been gone
The great sense of passing through
Arriving at the door just to be told
And it says

Grant my last request and just let me hold you

But one last time let's go there, lay down beside me
However much I loved you, you will always love me more
Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me
Don't sell out, bow out
I'll love you more and more and more and more
Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?
Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me

And I know shine so lightly, so clearly blue
Baby baby baby
And I have left the warmth of the sun
But one last time let's go there, lay down beside me
I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more and more and more

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la
And more and more and more and more, whoa lord!
L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la
Slow down, lie down
However much you want me, I swear I'll make you want me more
Baby let's get closer, tonight
Remember it's just you and me
However much she loves me I will always love her more
To wander down that one way road, oh

Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere
However much you want me, I swear I'll make you want me more
My roots are lying deeper than I ever think they will again
Baby let's get closer, tonight
And I felt the green was blacker and the blue was darker still

I just want you closer, is that alright?
L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la
However much you use me baby, come on use me more
L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la
And I guess it's true
