Unexpected Places

They put two bathrobes on the door
Just like they'd always done before
Two coffee cups by the sink
Two cans of coke for us to drink
I got the table with the view
Just like I did that time with you
I sat and stared there for a while
At the beat up boys on the golden mile
The wind came in from the Irish Sea
A kid flew stunt kites in the breeze
His mother waved up from the breakers
There's love in unexpected places

I walked through karaoke bars
Under plastic moon and stars
Watched the cabaret commence
But had to leave before the end
The drag act miming to your song
The dj playing everyone
Of those corny disco tunes
That you and I would be dancing to
As the strobe lights take effect
And the dance floor turns to sweat
I see the light reflected faces
There's love in unexpected places

The Waves were crashing on the beach
Like some percussive symphony
Wurlitzer organ in the tower
Like castanets the rising power
Of dancing shoes on wooden floor
The ballroom dancers play encore
Fairground rides and painted swings
Can you remember anything?
From the pier head to the shore
Neon signs on backstreet doors
I've watched you disappear in stages
There's love in unexpected places
And as your memory erases
I still regret the time we wasted
There's love in unexpected places
