The Clientele - Hey Siobhan

[Verse 1]
Hey Siobhan, where have you been?
I kissed you under rowan leaves
As our friends were walking ahead
And you took me down where the alleyways led

[Chorus]
Everyone knows
There's nowhere to go tonight
Won’t you slip out, just you and I?
Won't you slip out into the quiet?

[Verse 2]
When I get downstairs
With the sun on my eyelids, I
And the horse guards broke up somebody's party
Streamers in the night

[Verse 3]
There you go, at your door
Putting on your little boy’s shoes at the start of the day
And you close your eyes
And you walk away

[Verse 4]
Dear Kathleen, what do you know?
There's a place I see us both
On a still Edwardian street
Where the daylight moves impossibly clear
[Chorus]
Everyone knows
There's nowhere to go tonight
Won't you slip out, just you and I?
Won't you slip out into the quiet?
