Winter Bus Shelter, Warm Enough

Lyrics

The bus to the harbour comes twice on Thursdays
So we're sitting in the shelter with a flask and a bun
The sea is a pewter plate under the pier lights
And we've got the whole town to ourselves, everyone

The chip shop's shut and the pastel cafe sleeping
A string of bulbs still swinging on the rail
We share a pair of gloves, one each, hand in hand
And the wind has nothing on our tale

Warm enough, warm enough
With a flask of tea and your shoulder near
Warm enough, warm enough
There's nowhere else I'd rather be this year
The sea can do its winter song
The gulls can have the sky
Warm enough, warm enough
You and me and a bus gone by

A woman walks her dog along the shingle
She waves and we wave back like old friends
Small town winter has its own good manners
And a kindness that never ends

Fog on the glass, I draw a heart
You write our names in the steam
The late bus rumbles round the bend
Like the end of a quiet dream

Warm enough, warm enough
With a flask of tea and your shoulder near
Warm enough, warm enough
There's nowhere else I'd rather be this year
The sea can do its winter song
The gulls can have the sky
Warm enough, warm enough
You and me and a bus gone by

Warm enough
You and me and a bus gone by
