Lyrics Opaline and Evergreen - The Cribs

An afternoon under low clouds
So close that I can't breathe
And getting high just brought them lower down
'Til the sun bleeds on me

Now I'm back on your side of town
Hung around while the world burned down
If I can find you in my dreams
Opaline and evergreen we'll be

I had to go as far as I could go
Without falling off the end
Then on the corner where Sunflowers grow
She calls me back again

Now I'm back on your side of town
Hung around while the world burned down

And then, while waiting at the wall
The love returned
I watched it all unfold
Silently
From the blossom to the stone

Now I'm back on your side of town
Hung around while the world burned down
If I can find you in my dreams
Opaline and evergreen we'll be
