Saint Etienne - How We Used to Live lyrics

A rose scented June a rose he pulled in June
They're full upon the lawn
The doctor came at dawn

An old daily care and Suzie Banana Stand
Through frosted windowpane
Your father's middlename from a train
And everywhere the snow falls sail away

A veil (pale) faded blue
A Ruben's old curfew
One windy Winter's day a Windsor market day
People say everywhere the snow falls
Sail away

She's moving down the seaside
'Cause that's where he comes from
He gave away all of her records
Is that where she belongs?

Better think it through remember who
Is there something new? Or is it you again?

Sail away

So take your red gown and go down to the dam
To do as you please
On the streets of your town

The whistling kind shake it out of your mind
It could be the day when you finally say
Sail away on and on

Up the riverbank, land that dried up
The causeway full of nice cars
The sand a distant dream

Across the riverbank
Cross the riverbank, don't look back

To sail away and on and on

I sail, you sail
I sail, you sail do you remember how?
Do you remember how we used to live?
