Premiere
The Shop Next Door — and then the road
No notes yet — be the first.
The song is on YouTube: watch the video.
A pop ballad on the way home, past the shop that used to stop me. The refrain is ours: no stop, no pack, no counting out the change.
The lyric
[verse]
On the way home there's a shop, and it has always been
the place I'd stop for one more pack and something I could drink in
Tonight I walk the long way, past the corner and the lights
The shop is open, I walk by, and that's the whole of it tonight
[chorus]
The shop next door, the road I know
I've taken both a thousand times, and now I just go home
No stop, no pack, no counting out the change
The evening's long, and it is mine, and nothing has to change
[verse]
The door is on my way — it always was, it's fine
The only difference now is that the evening's mine
[bridge]
I don't cross the street to hide from it
I walk right past the window, and I look inside a bit
[chorus]
The shop next door, the road I know
I've taken both a thousand times, and now I just go home
No stop, no pack, no counting out the change
The evening's long, and it is mine, and nothing has to change
[outro]
The shop next door
and then the road, and then the light
