Story behind the song
Another early New Cross song- extended student days thanks to the NERCA song extolling the virtues of the laid-back post-grad high.
Lyrics
I can see the sun beating on my window pane Feel the magic in my mind Seems that everyone is starting to begin again But Im taking my time, Im taking my time Rolling sounds drifting through the afternoon Seem to fall and then to climb Solid ground dont feel the way it used to do But Im taking my time, Im taking my time You know Ive been afraid of everyone The seething movement brought me down But what can be conveyed if you dont catch on And be as one with everyone around
