lyrics

You got off at Eyre Square

Four stops before your door

Your scarf was still half-buttoned

Rain on the bus-stop floor

I saw your boots hit pavement

By the red ticket machine

You laughed and said you'd walk with me

Past the chip shop and the green

The driver pulled away slow

Blue puff from the back wheel

You tucked your hands in your coat

Said, "Go on, I'm real"

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early

We crossed by St. Nicholas

With the market packed and loud

Fish crates, wet umbrellas

A gull above the crowd

Your sleeve brushed my old jacket

Your breath hung in the air

You could've stayed in dry warmth

But you chose to meet me there

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early

At the curbstone by the bakery

You grinned and checked your watch

The evening bus went rolling

Past the iron gate and arch

You said, "It's not far, love"

Like it was nothing new

Just four stops in the rain

And the whole town walking through

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early
