Mike Heron - Trim Up Your Love Light lyrics

Edinburgh on Sunday night, very little happening,

Nowhere to go

I looked up from my drink in the Drummon bar

I saw it was her and my heart was beating so

Just meeting that girl again did it,

Made me see what I'd closed off

I had forgotten what she meant to me

And how she'd stood by me when things were rough

She said «Oh baby never sell yourself short

For me you got it, I got faith in you

Only way you could lose it you know

Is if you close off the love that's in you.»

Trim up your love light, love mine,

Trim up your love light, love mine,

Trim it up, trim it up, trim it up

Trim it up, trim it up, trim it up

Trim up your love light, love mine

Let it shine, shine, shine.

At night I would sing in the Crown bar

It brought me down, it was emptier day by day

That darling girl she'd come up behind me

She'd whisper «I love you, send your blues away».

She'd say «Oh baby never sell yourself short

For me you got it, I got faith in you

Only way you could lose it you know

Is if you close off the love that's in you

Don't close it off, don't close it off.»

Come ten o'clock we moved out to the street

We looked in each other's eyes

We had this special song we used to sing

Just to keep from crying - it went like this:

Trim up your love light, love mine,

Trim up your love light, love mine,

Trim it up, trim it up, trim it up

Trim it up, trim it up, trim it up

Trim up your love light, love mine

Let it shine, shine, shine.
