The Girl in Hannover

from Shameless Winter by Daisy Chapman

/

lyrics

3am on a Sunday
Far from you I write
Hoping these letters will
Find you alright
Cos there's a girl in Hannover
Feigning confidence with a stranger
And I am just waiting for this
Day to come.
 
When I will darken your doorstep
And travel those miles
Cos you know one man's triumph
Is another man's trial.
 
Well the mornings are sunny
But the nights are so cold
But the seasons are changing
Or so I've been told
And there's a girl in Santa Cruz
Still fighting the blues
So I am just waiting for that
Day to come.

Where you will darken my doorstep
And travel those miles
Cos you know one man's triumph
Is another man's trial
All the while I will never
Conquer.

Well you said you would visit
See the city in the winter
But I still await
This fantasy visitor
Cos there's a girl in my nightdress
Pouring coffee for my temptress
So I have stopped waiting for that
Day to come
 
Cos there's a girl writing letters
Peeling pictures from her wall
Those jeering smiles now
Face down in cardboard
But if you close a window
Someone opens a door
So I am still waiting for that day to come.
