lyrics

Do you remember
That August night round the embers of the fire?
I knew we’d be so good together
You took my hand, and we laughed until we cried

But Sarah, it ain’t good for you every time I ask you over
It ain’t good for you
Cos I never pay back the favour
So before you went away I wrote a note on a cigarette paper
And I ain’t seen you ever since

Sarah, will you be gone for long?
Sarah, I’m sorry that I disappointed ya

Waking up on my second hand sofa
In a crowded town of Newky Browns and Marlboro Reds
I was staring at the screen all night
There’s no need to sleep
When you can't get out of bed

But Sarah, it ain’t good for me when you visit but you don’t stay over
It ain’t good for me
I’m tired of all the reminders
Of all the dollars that I owe from when I borrowed all those rolled up fivers
I’ve been paying ever since

Sarah, will you be gone for long?
Sarah, I’m sorry that I disappointed ya
Sarah, I’ll give you what you want
Sarah, I’m sorry that I disappointed ya

Do you remember
Dancing sober
Do you remember
Looking in the eyes of strangers
Do you remember
We always won them over
Do you remember
But I threw it all away, didn’t listen to you saying that you need a little time away,

Sarah, will you be gone for long?
Sarah, I’m sorry that I disappointed ya
Sarah, I’ll give you what you want
Sarah, I’m sorry that I disappointed ya
Sarah, will you be gone for long?
Sarah, will you be gone for long?
