The Durutti Column

Smile In The Crowd

You turned me away
Away from your actions
Forced by the violence
That always surrounds you

I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd

You burnt yourself out
In that silence
I have to tell you
I ache for you still

The sound of my words
Is always so shocking
They get much louder
Each time I speak

Signals of progress
We're growing much older
I'm afraid that I'll leave
And my ache never goes
