lyrics

Parlour Song

At my father's place
Ed is a welcome guest
Still I was surprised that evening
finding him there
Cross legged on the carpet
like some Buddha with a smile
So calm so self assured
of what he came there for

Chorus:
Eddie drove
oh three hundred miles from work
Just to say he loved me
and I knew he meant every word
Although I said „that‘s nonsense Ed“
and now
Oh tell me Ed,
what are we gonna do now?, yeah.

„Hey Ed, how you doing“ says I
and sit myself in front of him
„I thought you were away on work
somewhere in the city of demons“
„Actually I am“ - says Eddie -
„I‘m going back there tonight.
I came just for two hours“
says he came to be with me!

Chorus

I thought it would be polite of me
to spend the two hours with him
And as we sat there chatting
on the carpet, time and space swung by
And once I caught a glimpse of Ed‘s eye
and suddenly it dawned upon me
That Ed was now free to love me
and Ed truly loved me

Chorus

It was time for him to leave
and so we rose
And I gave Ed my hand
and then he leaned and whispered to me
„You know I‘ve always loved you, Sharon,
and I always will“
and I said: „cut the nonsense, Ed“
and slid back to the parlour.
