lyrics

The Edges Of Belfast

She was dancing on the oceanside as he started the flame
He'd met her on the highway and they'd learned each others names
Only time would tell him if she ever felt the same
only love, only love

He whispered soft dreams to her and she rose to say goodnight
crept and found her next door tent lit by the pale moonlight
she saw the future clearly there were clouds within his sight
only love, only love

(chorus) Desiree set him free from his chains of dreams wrought with gallantry.

They camped up north in Coolridge and they camped upeast in Kent and they drank vodka in Rotterdam with money saved for rent
he felt her drifting spirit as the mornings came and went
only love, only love
he told her of his mother how remarkable she was
how he'd never found a woman who could live life like she does
she said her father never changed she's glad he bit the dust
only love, only love.

(chorus)

The next morning by a campsite near a mountain at Dunkirk
she mentioned she'd be drifting back to Belfast for some work
Inside he cried so softly but outside he kicked the dirt
only love, only love
so she left him cold one morning on the edges of Belfast
he stared at thorny oatmeal flying feelings at half mast
he wondered at the highway as she became his past
only love, only love

(chorus)
