about

The second single from Anna Hester's debut album Postcard Songs. Originally released 29th March 2021.

lyrics

I lost your postcard
It was waiting for me in the end
Compact capital letters
Crawl in monochrome
Tucked inside a sturdy frame

This ink has travelled
A long long way to talk to me
With her regal profile watching over
No storms could weather these words away

And I hate to think of you alone in Glasgow
Holding on to edges, letting go
You’re not the only one alone in Glasgow
So take this city by the hand

A solid structure can withstand the wind
No matter how weak you may think you are
The beauty of the city’s in its bruises
The things we love get torn apart

So go on, beat your drum, dear
The fireworks shine bright tonight
Don’t resist these
Concrete walls surrounding you
Home can be a different size

And I hate to think of you alone in Glasgow
Holding on to edges, letting go
You’re not the only one alone in Glasgow
So take this city by the hand

And I hate to think of you alone in Glasgow
Holding on to edges, letting go
You’re not the only one alone in Glasgow
So take this city by the hand
Take this city by the hand
