Notes from a Holiday Lyrics

Sat and waited for our taxi in the square,

Said “take us anywhere this fine blue evening,

It’s our last night here we were only visiting.”

“Show us a secret of your homeland,

We’re just tourists who didn’t make a plan.”

Dropped us off at a small bay cafe,

Clear horizons as the red sun fell away.

Notes from a holiday

We couldn’t work out the air-con,

So hugged a frozen bottle all night long.

In the morning you’ll be swimming,

Afternoon, I’ll be writing songs.

I’m glad we got the place with a veranda,

I can sit and watch the boats come in.

From my shaded little seat,

I’m too English for this heat.

Notes from a holiday

A picture as you smiled at me, from underneath that lemon tree,

This our recent history, so happy you said yes to me.

Your floating dresses looked so pretty,

I remember feeling lucky,

To be with you in that place,

Notes from a holiday.
