lyrics

Birmingham Canticle

w & m Dawn Eden Goldstein

[Verse 1:]

Fashionable lady, she is holding an iced tea,
Chatting animatedly with someone I can’t see.
Mums with babies crying in prams,
Dads in pubs imbibing their drams,

[Chorus 1:]

Men in suits on calls transatlantical
As I sing a Birmingham canticle.
Oooh! La-la la-la la-la-la la
La-la la-la la-la-la la

[Verse 2:]

It’s one of those days when this city makes me feel
I’m only a faceless cog in a giant wheel.
Weave my way through crowded Moor Street;
got to make the tram to your street.

[Chorus 2:]

Marks and Sparks with clerks working frantical
As I sing a Birmingham canticle.
Wah-wah wah-wah wah-wah-wah wah-wah
Wah-wah wah-wah wah-wah-wah wah-wah

[Verse 3:]

Finally get to St. Chad’s and I run on down the stair
‘til I get to your pad and I find you waiting there.
All the day I’ve waited for this:
Lady Grey with milk and a kiss.

[Chorus 3:]

As we share embraces romantical,
sing to you my Birmingham canticle.
Oooh! La-la la-la la-la-la la [repeat “la”’s and fade]

about

Dawn Eden Goldstein Washington, D.C.

Today I go by my real name of Dawn Eden Goldstein, but as a rock and roll historian and occasional songwriter/recording artist in the 1990s-2000s, I went by Dawn Eden. Recently I returned to songwriting and have written or co-written releases by some terrific artists, including Steve Wynn and the Anderson Council. It's a pleasure to share my music with you by any name. ... more
