Church, The - Miami Lyrics






I'm moving back to Miami
And you'll be able to see me
I'm living down by the sea babe
Now you'll be able to see me (any time you like)

And if you walk away
Nothing will change
I think that it's strange

I think that it's easy
It's easy for you
Asleep in the darkness
After what you went through
My curtains are open
Fog confuses the light
Some distant reflection
Some elusive night
Alright

Ahh baby
Won't you fly down to me
In the place by the sea
I think Humphrey Bogart stayed there in 1943
He was joined by Janet Leigh, babe

And if you never come
Well that would be strange
I don't think I've changed

I don't think I mentioned
I met someone else
Her compassionate tears
Oh they were like tiny bells
She was better than both of us
I shoulda stayed my hand
I shoulda stayed in Miami
With the seagulls and sand
But the devil is doubt
And I'm out on the street
Walking about
Talking so sweet
Bringing brief reminders
I singing your softest song
I thinking it's all a dream
And I'll wake up and be gone
Be gone!

Oh baby
Whatever I say, it has escaped me
Maybe I'll find the money
Fly you first class on BOAC
If you come down to Miami

You can leave right away
If you are game
I think I'm the same

I think of you cold
I think of you still
I think of you living
Your ziggurat on a hill
The gardens were moving
Like waves on a shore
My head always aching
My eyes always sore
Swim in cool heat
Some weather door slammed
A car started up
Frequencies jammed
Miami, Miami
My fingers and pores
Someone picks up
All in due course

    I can't believe there's only 40 likes on this song! This is a fantastic song. Thanks for the upload!

  8. M.... ....

    Just saw them last night. Been a fan since 1982 I think that's when Blurred Crusade came out. These guys were better than fantastic!

  9. G.... G....

    How can they just keep getting better and better.  Saw them in New Haven. Killed it!!!

    G.... G....

    G.... G....

    @Christian Helwig Cool! I saw them at Toad's Place and The Palace in '88 and '89 :)

  10. K.... ....

    yeah sure cause i like boring things

    K.... ....

    +KaChriHertel Yeah! Hey, me too! We have a lot in common; we should hang out.

  11. f.... ....

    I've loved The Church since they started. This album is easily as good as anything they've ever done, and even perhaps a bit more risky while still retaining their classic sound. I hate to say it but Marty is not missed here, some great musical landscapes. Just amazing, and "Miami" is a great closing song. Genius.

    f.... ....

    +foghorn25 - Just saw their BLURRED CRUSADE / FURTHER DEEPER tour last night in NEW ORLEANS !
    they still got it ! ALWAYS LOVED THEM AND THEY WERE AMAZING LAST NIGHT !!

    f.... ....

    Marty isn't essential but he will be missed. I'll skip the tour. No, Marty. No, Me...live.. Ploog was a more animated and more aggressive. Is he better than Tim? Probably not but he's still Richard.

    f.... ....

    lol...Cheers!

    f.... ....

    Marty would want you to attend!

  12. J.... U....

    Going to see them for the 4th time ever at the Triple Door in Seattle. Should be a awesome show

  13. p.... e....

    Genius
    You hear that guitar and it can only be one band
    Just pre-ordered the album on import
    Brilliant and gets better
    The Church
    Cool

    p.... e....

    Exactly Paul! That guitar is perfecto!

  14. A.... T....

    Great track.  Classic Church.
