I can see the cranes on the skyline towering above the buildings red and blue/
I first saw the cranes in berlin, saw one last week, it reminded me of you/
what can I do, they remind me of you
ooooooooohohooooohoohohohohooooo
ooooooooohohooooohoohohohohooooo
oooohooooohoo
on the motorway feel the concrete rush beneath our feet what can we see/
there's an M&S twenty miles under bridges do they remind you of me/
what can we see, does it remind you of me
I can see pylons out the window by the railway marching through the field/
and I turn to you and I say aren't they pretty, oh and you are thrilled/
pylons in the field, oh and you are thrilled
ooooooooohohooooohoohohohohooooo
ooooooooohohooooohoohohohohooooo
oooohooooohoo
we're going over the river
past the museum
into the station
and on the train
we're going over the river
past the museum
into the station
and on the train
we're going over the river
past the museum
into the station
and on the train
we're going over the river
past the museum
into the station
and on the train
ooooooooohohooooohoohohohohooooo
ooooooooohohooooohoohohohohooooo
oooohooooohoo

in the light of the morning
blackbirds black against the blue
through the train's double glazing
how the light seems to improve
bent brown trees leaning over
muddy water earthy hills
we are going in the morning
we are moving through the still
cool night air feels like water
and the platform is aglow
we are walking from the station
we are walking to the show
and we have waited all afternoon
to hear your songs and to sing to you
we will hear them for days to come
we will whistle we will write and we will hum hmm
in the dark there's no watching
all the fields hide from view
in the windows are the faces
I watch me and you watch you
we'll walk home to the city
through the streetlights and the rain
in the morning we will wake up
to the sounds of passing trains
and we have waited for years and years
to hear songs just like these in our ears
and we will hear them for days to come
we will whistle we will write and we will hum hmm
we have waited all afternoon
to hear your songs and to sing to you
we will hear them for days to come
we whistle we will write and we will hum
we whistle we will write and we will hum
we whistle we will write and we will hum

Lovely, delicate acoustic music with rich, narrative lyrics that play out more like short stories than songs.
