Postcards of Scarborough Lyrics

Two postcards of Scarborough just to keep in my mind
To hide away up there and help me remind
Myself of time past and time passing
I went down to the harbour just to catch a b*** to eat
Boats along the quayside and seagulls round my feet
Remind me of when we were there together
The food was so tasteless
And the wine was so stale
I looked in the mirror
And my face was so pale
Not like when we were there together

I took a walk up to Paradise like we did before
But there's nothing there like Paradise to me anymore
Not since we've been there together
I sleep in the same room and the walls they are so white
But there's nothing there to warm me in the cool of the night
Not like when we were here together.

The food was so tasteless
And the wine was so stale
I looked in the mirror
And my face was so pale
Not like when we were there together
Two postcards of Scarborough just to keep in my mind

To hide away up there and help me remind
Myself of time past and time passing
Myself of time past and time passing
time past and time passing
time passing
