Becky Kilsby Lyrics

Under midnight stars, and in beachside bars

I loved you best

We were never forever and always

We were vagabond

Not ever the sensible choice

But a flagon of rum

And the waves crashing in

Midnight skies, an offbeat drum

We were made for bars and stars

We were vagabond

Party tunes at Fistral Bar

Long drinks and sultry melodies

Last dance was always ours

Laughter lost on the late night breeze

We were made for stars and bars

We were vagabond

In the crush I lost you

Glimpsed her flying red hair 

Crashing waves, in the midnight blue

Calling your name, unaware

You were renegade, hand grenade

Made to blow lives apart

She was travellin’ through, unafraid

Nobody warned her you were 

Careless with carefree hearts

Tending to blow lives apart

We were never for ever, for always

We were sea breezes and fun days

In beachside bars, under midnight stars

I loved you best, I loved you last

Cos you were made for stars and bars

You were always, forever, pure vagabond
