Текст песни Yellow Sign

On a November day in an east end cafe There’s a fight kicking off to the right of me ‘Well I’ve half a mind to hurt you’ he cries ‘But I don’t want the world and his wife to see’ And he’s dragged that girl outside With his arms around her There’s a yellow sign Where they found her ‘Cos there was some other man she’d hit on Now she’s barely alive What a secret to try and sit on One you know you shouldn’t have to hide It’s a year to the day since they put him away He’s down for a ten-stretch at best And she goes every week just to hear her lover speak But there’s the one thing he can’t get off his chest And then she forced his hand Showed him a letter She said ‘I hope you sent my love When you met her’ ‘Cos there was some other girl he’d hit on Yeah he’s as guilty as sin What a secret to try and sit on When you’ve nothing you can keep it in And if ever they meet when he’s back on the street Who knows if the cafe will still be there And will she still believe in that sinner’s reprieve That in love as in war that all is fair? If all he’s on is his best behaviour And she’s holding her tongue They can clear up the bad blood later For now they’ll sit and watch it run For now they’ll sit and watch it run
