The Gillies. BBC Radio Kent

Once upon a time in Greenwich during the summer’s peak
Was a tourist, a local and platonic love... yes, the local was me.
The friendship was intense, yet easy. The time we had was brief.
I’ve kept those days for they are mine like they are yours to keep.

So many ways to say farewell but not so much for how it feels
When it’s not quite enough to tell you it’s been real
Would it be fair or even true to bleed away
With what confused and fickle hearts like ours could say

This is yours to keep
This is mine to keep
I’m left balancing the loss and the gain
Thanks to luck I found you
But cruelly fate sent you away

For all we shared we know too well our lives will lead their separate ways
So you’ll continue yours and I shall do the same
It’s late, I’m tired and emotional and so
I’d better sleep it off and we should let this go

This is yours to keep
This is mine to keep
I’m left balancing the loss and the gain
Thanks to luck I found you
But cruelly fate sent you away

The selfish centre of me hopes you’re back one day
I’m no carrier of torches and you’re not an old flame
Some things are best left unexplored
Screw biology - we had something more
We had something more

This is yours to keep
This is mine to keep
I’m left balancing the loss and the gain
Thanks to luck I found you
But cruelly fate sent you away, away
Thanks to luck I found you
But cruelly fate sent you away

Yours To Keep
