Unexpected Places

They put two bathrobes on the door Just like they'd always done before Two coffee cups by the sink Two cans of coke for us to drink I got the table with the view Just like I did that time with you I sat and stared there for a while At the beat up boys on the golden mile The wind came in from the Irish Sea A kid flew stunt kites in the breeze His mother waved up from the breakers There's love in unexpected places I walked through karaoke bars Under plastic moon and stars Watched the cabaret commence But had to leave before the end The drag act miming to your song The dj playing everyone Of those corny disco tunes That you and I would be dancing to As the strobe lights take effect And the dance floor turns to sweat I see the light reflected faces There's love in unexpected places The Waves were crashing on the beach Like some percussive symphony Wurlitzer organ in the tower Like castanets the rising power Of dancing shoes on wooden floor The ballroom dancers play encore Fairground rides and painted swings Can you remember anything? From the pier head to the shore Neon signs on backstreet doors I've watched you disappear in stages There's love in unexpected places And as your memory erases I still regret the time we wasted There's love in unexpected places
