Eddi Reader Allelujah
The lights on the westway go on
A million cars hurry home
An ice-cream van shuts off its tinsel bells
Winter won't be long
I see you everyday
I watch you as you walk down this way
We pass on the stairs on this council block
Too shy to find words to say
But your smile is a prayer that prays for love
and your heart is a kite that longs to fly
Allelujah, here I am
Let's cut the strings tonight
So meet me on the corner at eight
Let's get out of this place
We'll kiss the first of a million kisses
and let the past fall away
'Cause your smile is a prayer...
For your smile is a prayer...
We'll kiss the first of a million kisses, ah
