about

Single version from the forthcoming Album On Birnbeck Pier

lyrics

Where did this road begin
Falling rain reflected in
The cobbled Market Square
Bruges is lit for Christmas Eve
I used to wish for snow, but
I don’t feel like it now
The rain is enough
For midwinter days

The Tower Bells
That Christmas song
Falling rain
And nothing’s wrong
The Waiter holds
His umbrella high
He falls in love
And knows not why
It’s Christmas Eve in Bruges
It’s Christmas Eve in Bruges

You spoke English
On the phone
Broken heart
Your measured tone
And it’s all just memory of course
Bruges is lit for Christmas Eve
An Accordion singing
To the crowd
East of somewhere
Its sad, sad sounds
And I’ll never see your face - again
Bruges is lit for Christmas Eve

The Tower Bells
Those Christmas Songs
The falling rain
And nothing was wrong
The Waiter held
His umbrella high
He fell in love
I don’t know why
It’s Christmas Eve in Bruges
It’s Christmas Eve in Bruges
