Saint Etienne
"Don't Back Down"


Just as I walked away
I turned to hear you say...

The words nearly got carried away by the wind
But I could make out this much...

“Don’t back down, don’t back down this time”
Brown eyes, inside I cry
“Don’t back down, don’t back down this time”
Sometimes I wonder why

Locked out in Fortress Green
Your Mother hated me

Caught in a car outside the Odeon
And the rain pouring down the windscreen

That Summer felt so long
I never felt so strong

And then a sudden feeling
That I might never see you again
