Soho Square - Kirsty Maccoll

Your name froze on the winter air 
An empty bench in Soho Square 
Forgotten now I turn away 
Just save me for a rainy day 
But don't be sorry 
I don't want to hear it baby 

My feet froze in the winter chill 
I knew I'd probably get ill 
But I was praying we could fill 
An empty bench and still 
You're so sorry 
But I don't want your pity baby 

It's all yours now please don't tease 
The pigeons shiver in the naked trees 
And I'll do anything but 
Please don't hurt me 
Just kiss me quick 
'Cause it's my birthday 
And I feel so small 
I don't know why 
But no I'm not too old to cry 

An empty bench in Soho Square 
If you'd have come you'd have found me there 
But you never did 'cause you don't care 
And I'm so sorry baby 
I don't mind loneliness too much 
But when I met you I was touched 
And that was good enough for me 
But do we always have to be sorry 
Why can't we just be happy baby? 

One day you'll be waiting there 
No empty bench in Soho Square 
And we'll dance around like we don't care 
And I'll be much too old to cry 
And you'll kiss me quick in case I die 
Before my birthday 

One day you'll be waiting there 
No empty bench in Soho Square 
No I don't know the reason why 
I'll love you till the day I die 
But one day you'll be waiting there 
Come summertime in Soho Square 
And I'll be painting stars up in the sky 
Before I get too old to cry 
Before my birthday 
I hope I see those pigeons fly 
Before my birthday 
In Soho Square on my birthday
