Checkout Girls Lyrics - Deacon Blue

Stay with me now 

I feel like you're slipping away 

there's a song in the air 

that no-one is singing today 

there are places to go 

but somehow I feel we should stay 

And the checkout girls sing a a song for the world 

that goes round and round 

and the anthem of the keys in the tills 

makes a soothing sound 

and the eyes and the ears aren't on the sky~ 

they're on the ground 

Talk to me now 

there are words in your mind worth saying 

there's a something happening over here 

even though the actors might only be playing 

life is the thing 

that can't be lost by delaying 

Live with me now 

I'm ready to hear your crying 

risen again like the phoenix the ashes defying 

in the silence we know 

there's something beyond the dying
