about

Recorded at home sometime during lockdown
mixed by Tom Emlyn

lyrics

Serene in a lonely crowd
with someone on my mind
I saw a star drunk in a bar
and I left the rest behind

I'd like to serenade you
but the song would come out wrong
I would like to see you
and I know it won't be long

drinking pop at donkey rock
bumped into a long-lost friend
what were the chances, what were the odds?
ask the shells, ask the west wind

I'd like to serenade you
because you are the bomb
I would like to see you
if there's something going on, going on

I'd like to serenade you
but the siren got there first
I would not be drowning
if the sea could quench my thirst
oh, my thirst
