Smile In The Crowd - The Durutti Column

You turned me away

Away from your actions

Forced by the violence

That always surrounds you

I want your special smile

A smile in this crowd

I want your special smile

A smile in this crowd

You burnt yourself out

In that silence

I have to tell you

I ache for you still

The sound of my words

Is always so shocking

They get much louder

Each time I speak

I want your special smile

A smile in this crowd

I want your special smile

A smile in this crowd

Signals of progress

We’re growing much older

I’m afraid that I’ll leave

And my ache never goes

I want your special smile

A smile in this crowd

I want your special smile

A smile in this crowd
