gotta post another...sorry hadnt thought of Holly Near in years blame it on the Ricki Lee Jones song... went through an addiction to them at the same time...

If you were here beside me instead of in New York
If the curve of you was curved on me
I'd tell you that I loved you before I ever knew you
Because I loved the simple thought of you

If our hearts are never broken then there's no joy in the mending
There's so much this hurt can teach us both
Though there's distance and there's silence your words have never left me
They're the prayer that I say every day

Come on
Come out
Come here
Come here

The long neon nights and the eek of the ocean
And the fire that was starting to spark
I miss it all from the lough to the lagan
And the lack of it snaps me in two

If you were here beside me instead of in New York
In the arms you said you'd never leave
I'd tell you that it's simploe and it was only ever thus
There is nowhere else that I belong

Come on
Come out
Come here
Come here

The long neon nights and the eek of the ocean
And the fire that was starting to spark
I miss it all from the lough to the lagan
And the lack of it snaps me in two

Just give me a sign there's an end and a beginning
To the quiet chaos driving me mad
The long neon nights and the want of the ocean
And the fire that is starting to go out

If you were here in Starkville, the townie boys would love the way you stare.
If you were here in Starkville, the local girls, they wouldn't have a prayer.
I spent a reckless night inside the wonder of your everlasting charm,
Now I'm haunted by geography, and the flora and the fauna of your heart.
