lyrics

We were talking til the sun rose all the night long
Searching for the reason that we belong
And you call out to me to walk up to the sea
Believing once again that we are free

She’s my brass band girl
She’s my brass band girl
She’s the candle that won’t let me
Burn out

Seeing as we hadn’t found our ways in life
Bound up and drawn together by our strife
And you find yourself again calling to the sun
Longing for the reason you belong

She’s my brass band girl
She’s my brass band girl
She’s the candle that won’t let me
Burn out

Interlude

Somewhere beyond this place there’s a dream I had
I lost it in the throes of this time I’ve had
And we’re taken by the reasons calling endlessly
To be more than we have seen

She’s my brass band girl
She’s my brass band girl
She’s the candle that won’t let me
Burn out
