Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You came with the mist on a Monday

Small suitcase and rain in your hair

Shop windows all turned to watch you

I looked once

Then tried not to stare

You asked for the road to the river

Your laughter fell light as the rain

My tongue tied itself into silence

As you walked down the curve of the lane

[Chorus]

New girl down the lane

I know your name

But I daren’t say mine

Heart like a skittish foal

Bolts at your shadow every time

I would weave you into my days

Like clover through the grain

But I only watch you passing by

New girl down the lane

[Verse 2]

You sit by the fire in O’Grady’s

A book and a cup in your hand

I polish the glassware and listen

For scraps of the life that you’ve planned

You hum an old song I remember

From Sundays and soft candle flame

I join in a breath underneath it

You turn

And I blush at my shame

[Chorus]

New girl down the lane

I know your name

But I daren’t say mine

Heart like a skittish foal

Bolts at your shadow every time

I would weave you into my days

Like clover through the grain

But I only pour your evening tea

New girl down the lane

[Bridge]

If courage grew wild on the hillside

I’d gather it all in my skirt (oh)

I’d knock on your bright painted doorway

Wear every old fear like an old

Torn shirt

But here in the hush of my kitchen

Your laughter keeps filling the room

I trace little hearts in the flour

Then sweep them away with the broom

[Chorus]

New girl down the lane

I know your name

But I daren’t say mine

Heart like a skittish foal

Bolts at your shadow every time

I would weave you into my days

Like clover through the grain

Till then I watch the sunlight in your hair

New girl down the lane
