Fairground Attraction

the lights on the westway go on
a million cars hurry home
an ice cream van shuts off its tinsel bells
winter won't be long

I see you every day
I watch as you walk down this way
we pass on the stairs of this council block

too shy to find words to say

but your smile is a prayer that prays for love
and your heart is a kite that longs to fly
hallelujah here I am
let's cut the strings tonight

so meet me on the corner at eight
let's get out of this place
we'll kiss the first of a million kisses
and let the past fall away

for your smile is a prayer that prays for love
and your heart is a kite that longs to fly
hallelujah here I am
let's cut the strings tonight

INSTRUMENTAL

yes your smile is a prayer that prays for love
and your heart is a kite that longs to fly
hallelujah here I am
let's cut the strings tonight

yes your smile is a prayer that prays for love
and your heart is a kite that longs to fly
hallelujah here I am
we'll cut the strings tonight

and we'll kiss the first of a million kisses
la-la-la-la-la-la
