Alloway Grove - Paolo Nutini

Coming home again to see a girl

That’s prettier than a diamond shining in the sun, oh what fun!

I wonder if she's been naked in her room since I've been gone

I wonder if she's said to them as she said to me before

However much you use me baby, come on use me more

However much you use me baby, come on use me more

Oh, getting off the train to see a girl

That’s sweeter than an apple picked from Adam's tree, oh glory be!

And I wonder if she's been pressed against an unfamiliar wall

And said to all those men that she has said to me before

However much you want me, I swear I'll make you want me more

However much you want me, I swear I'll make you want me more

And more and more and more and more, whoa lord!

L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la

L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la

L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la

L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la

Arriving at the door just to be told

The girl I'm missing’s been in London for a while

No more Northern skies for her

They say she's left a letter up the stairs for everyone

It's pinned against her bedroom door for all the world to see

And it says

However much I loved you, you will always love me more

However much I loved you, you will always love me more

And I guess it's true

However much she loves me I will always love her more

L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la

L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la

L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la

L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la

L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la

L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la

L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la

L-la la la la, la la la, l-la la la la

And I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more

I'll love you more and more and more and more

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more

I'll love you more and more and more and more

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more

And I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more

I'll love you more and more and more and more

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more

I'll love you more and more and more and more

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more

I have returned to the Northern skies

Where the summer had not touched the clouds that pass above

Oh and I have returned to the somber greens

Of the days too early to come and too early to stay

And I have left a million stars

And I know shine so lightly, so clearly blue

And I have left the warmth of the sun

And a million adventures not yet begun

The great sense of passing through

The great sense of passing through

The great sense of passing through

Oh for once there was beauty here for me

Under these white Northern skies

And I felt the green was blacker and the blue was darker still

My roots are lying deeper than I ever think they will again

Heartache and poetry

Under these Northern skies

The great sense of passing through

The great sense of passing through

The great sense of passing through

Slow down, lie down

Remember it's just you and me

Don't sell out, bow out

Remember how this used to be

I just want you closer, is that alright?

Baby let's get closer, tonight

Grant my last request and just let me hold you

Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me

Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere

But one last time let's go there, oh, lay down beside me

And I've found that I'm bound

To wander down that one way road, oh

And I realized all about your lies

And I’m the wiser than the fool that I was before

I just want you closer, is that alright?

Baby let's get closer, tonight

Grant my last request and just let me hold you

Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me

Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere

But one last time let's go there, lay down beside me

Baby baby baby

Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?

Grant my last request and just let me hold you

Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me

And sure I can accept that we're going nowhere

But one last time let's go there, lay down beside me

Grant my last request and just let me hold you

Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me

And sure I can accept that we're going nowhere

But one last time let's go there, lay down beside me
