Windsor Road

about

Standard love song: Boy meets girl, boy misses chance to get the girl, boy's story becomes the fodder for a pop song. With an Austin address, no more no less.

lyrics

The party's over and everyone else is heading home
Except that girl who spoke with you off and on all night long
Well you can feel it in the air, you can see it in her eyes
So you think you're nearly there, or maybe you've arrived
But you better beware, 'cos you confused the signs

You got lost on Windsor Road
You held her in your arms then you had to let her go
There's something about that girl, but you're never gonna know
'Cos you got lost on Windsor Road

You sat together and you played her a song by your favorite band
And she was so close you could have reached out and held her hand
But when the music ended, how it all fell apart
She couldn't really have meant it, she was only feeling sorry
For your cracked front fender and the wreck you call your heart

You got lost on Windsor Road
You held her in your arms then you had to let her go
There's something about that girl, but you're never gonna know
'Cos you got lost on Windsor Road

And it's not hard, driving 'round the town
With your radio on and the windows down
To see a slender arm dangling out the car ahead
And wonder if it's her, but you know better

And it's not easy to pretend there's nothing wrong
So your window's down and your radio's on
She could drive you 'round the bend if you let her
You swear you're on the mend, but you're no better

Sometimes you look up and you can't believe how far it is you've gone
But then you realize you're right back where it all went wrong
With anonymous houses to your left and to your right
But you don't need your compass or your theodolite
To know the road ahead's treacherous, but off you ride

You got lost on Windsor Road
You held her in your arms then you had to let her go
There's something about that girl, but you're never gonna know
'Cos you got lost on
You got lost on
You got lost on Windsor Road
