You Woke Up My Neighbourhood

As i wait for sleep to drag me under

In the evening gloom i sit and wonder

The words i should have said to you

The things i always meant to do

The bad dreams that all came true



Chorus:

You woke up my neighbourhood

Night after night we would row

You woke up my neighbourhood

Things are pretty quiet round here now



When i think of how we were together

I know we couldn't be like that for ever

Beneath the seven sister stars

The night we let it go too far

I slept out in the car



Chorus



I remember skipping on the porch tilll it grew cold

I remember feeling like i was eight years old



Somersaults across the lawn

Singing dancing up till dawn

Every now and then we'd have a row

You woke up my neighbourhood

Things are pretty quiet round here now



Chorus (repeat)
