DERBY NIGHT

The Derby night black like coffee, steaming with bitterness
Pours down on my body, scalding my sleeplessness away
The poisoned words hit my window, like rain tapping on the glass
Baptising all my senses, I pray this night will pass away

And I’ll stay sixteen forever more, a lonesome ‘ Juliette ‘
Sixteen forever more, I pray they never forget me
The wind ever cold in December, biting so ruthlessly
Rips right through my shelter, stripping my resistance away

And I’ll stay sixteen forever more, a lonesome ‘ Juliette ‘
Sixteen forever more, I pray they never forget

I wish you’d leave me alone
Why won’t you leave me alone

I have done nothing, to you

Sixteen forever more, sixteen forever more
Sixteen forever more, a lonesome ‘Juliette ‘
Sixteen fo

rever more, I pray they never forget…..me
