about

This a song I wrote very quickly about waiting outside a cinema in a typical Manhattan early spring wind storm.
The rubbish/garbage was blowing everywhere and there was something dramatic and playful about it.

lyrics

This city is a cardboard storm tonight
and I'm a cinema marquee
each piece an address to some place new
my love can always spot me

The city and the cardboard storm tonight
and I am underneath the A
outside that breeze brings commuters to their knees
as I give out the time of day

we're not holding hands because it's valentines
It's so I know where my home is at all times

A cardboard storm in the city tonight
lean in with your shoulder and grin
each airborne scrap a torn off idea
that one day somewhere someone can win

we're not locking arms because it's valentines
I just don't want to leave my life behind
