Paolo Nutini Alloway Grove
Coming home again
To see a girl that's prettier than a diamond shining in the sun
Oh what fun!
I wonder if she's been naked in her room since I've been gone
I wonder if she's said to them as she said to me before
However much you use me baby, Come on use me more
However much you use me baby, Come on use me more
Getting off the train
To see a girl thats sweeter than an apple picked from Adam's tree
Oh glory be!
And I wonder if she's been pressed against an unfamiliar wall
And said to all those men as she said to me before
However much you want me, I swear I'll make you want me more
However much you want me, I swear I'll make you want me more and more and more and more and more...
La-la-la, la la la la
Arriving at the door
Just to be told that the girl I'm missing has been in London for a while
No more northern skies for her
They say she's left a letter up the stair for everyone
It's pinned against her bedroom door for all the world to see and she says
However much I loved you, you will always love me more
However much I loved you, you will always love me more
And I guess it's true
However much she loves me I will always love her more
La-la-la la la la la
I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more and more and more....
I have returned to the northern skies,
where the summer had not touched the clouds that pass above.
Oh, and I have returned to the somber greens
of the days too early to come and too early to stay.
And I have left a million stars
and I know shine so lightly, so clearly blue.
And I have left the warmth of the sun
and a million adventures not yet begun.
The great sense of passing through.
The great sense of passing through.
The great sense of passing through.
Oh, for once there was beauty here for me
under these white northern skies
and I felt the green was blacker
and the blue was darker still.
My roots are lying deeper
than I ever think they will again.
Heartache and poetry
under these northern skies.
The great sense of passing through.
The great sense of passing through.
The great sense of passing through.
Slow down, Lie down,
Remember it's just you and me.
Don't sell out, bow out,
Remember how this used to be.
I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let's get closer tonight
[chorus:]
Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don't shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere,
But one last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me
Oh, I've found, that I'm bound
To wander down that one way road.
And I realise all about your lies
But I'm no wiser than the fool that I was before.
I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let's get closer tonight
[chorus]
Oh, baby, baby, baby,
Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?
[chorus x2]
Yeah, lay down beside me.
One last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me
