Same Corner, Same Smile, Ten Years On
“A song about a laugh behind you at a tram stop, and ten years of the same corner after. It ends the record on a handshake.”

Lyrics
I was waiting for the tram When I heard your laugh behind Ten long years and not a word But you were still the kind Of smile that fills the street up Like a morning after rain And I said, is that really you And you said, here we are again Same corner, same smile, ten years on The traffic hums a gentle tune Same corner, same smile, ten years on Like we met again this afternoon We don't need to count the time We don't need to say a thing Same corner, same smile, ten years on And the whole sweet town can sing We walked down by the river Where the old café still stands Ordered two small coffees Held them in our hands You told me of your travels I told you of my days We laughed at all the foolish things And all the winding ways Same corner, same smile, ten years on The traffic hums a gentle tune Same corner, same smile, ten years on Like we met again this afternoon We don't need to count the time We don't need to say a thing Same corner, same smile, ten years on And the whole sweet town can sing Some friends are like a garden You leave and then return And everything is blooming In the place you used to learn Same corner, same smile, ten years on The traffic hums a gentle tune Same corner, same smile, ten years on Like we met again this afternoon We don't need to count the time We don't need to say a thing Same corner, same smile, ten years on Same corner, same smile, ten years on Same corner Same smile Ten years on
