Got a pocket full of loose change
and a ticket for the next game
i'd take you but you don't talk much
hiding behind your name

wouldn't see you in a small crowd
don't know what it is that i've found
you're bigger than i ever am
funny how things turn out

some say that you are a future bride
i've seen for myself that they are right
whenever you play those forty fives
something comes alive

caught a shadow at your window
can't imagine you in stage clothes
and fairy lights singing like
the stars you seem to know

can i listen in your bedroom
see the pictures that enchant you
in time alone you let go
it's just the way you choose

some say that you are a future bride
i've seen for myself that they are right
whenever you play those forty fives
something comes alive
