lyrics

I thought I saw the ghost of John Martyn in Warrior Square,
I thought I saw him walk to the statue to the end,
I thought I saw him move, I thought I saw him there,
I thought I saw the ghost of John Martyn in Warrior Square,

Easy love, easy lows,
Easy love, and then you’re out on your own,
Easy love, like a poisoned arrow,
That sets you up for misery when it comes,

And I thought I saw John Martyn in Warrior Square,
And I thought I heard him whispering in my ear,
And I think he said ‘don’t look at trouble like a friend’,
And I think he meant she will come right in the end.

On and on, comes the winter and the rain,
And on and on, do I miss you and do I hate,
The way that I was, without and within,
I’ll never fall in love with somebody like you again,
I’ll never fall in love with somebody like you again,


And oh, time is friendly ‘till it’s past,
And oh, I never wanted to crash,
The music sounds the same now to me,
There’s nothing on the Kings Road but steam from the shops open doors,
From the shops open doors,
Tell me, who are they opening for?

And oh, you’d be the first one to ask,
But when they come asking you, with their open hands,
Well you don’t give to anyone a thing,
But you just keep it wrapped up under your wing, in your hand, in the cold,
Oh, you’re a hard girl to know.


As you were humming by the fire,
Like a skyless moon with a hat on your hair,
And in your grey eyes, I saw a flame reflect,
And it suited you for a moment then,
And it suited you for a moment then,

And I thought I saw John Martyn in Warrior Square,
And I thought I heard him moving in the evening air,
And though he paid me no heed I stopped and stood aware,
Of the ghost of John Martyn in Warrior Square,
Of the ghost of John Martyn in Warrior Square,
Of the ghost of John Martyn in Warrior Square.
