"Kayleigh"

«Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall
Do you remember dawn escapes from moonwashed college halls
Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square
Do you remember, I thought it was confetti in our hair

By the way, didn't I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart but you broke mine.



Kayleigh, is it too late to say I'm sorry
And Kayleigh, could we get it together again
I just can't go on pretending that it came to a natural end
Kayleigh, oh I never thought I'd miss you
And Kayleigh, I thought that we'd always be friends
We said our love would last forever so how did it come to this bitter end

Oh oh yeah...

Do you remember, barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars
Do you remember the loving on the floor in Belsize Park
Do you remember dancing in Stilletos in the snow
Do you remember, you never understood I had to go
By the way, didn't I break your heart
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart but you broke mine.



Kayleigh, I just wanna say I'm sorry
But Kayleigh, I'm too scared to pick up the phone
To have hear you've found another lover to patch up our broken home
Kayleigh, I'm still trying to write that love song
Kayleigh, it's more important to me, now you're gone
Maybe it'll prove that we were right or it'll prove that I was wrong.»

«Kayleigh», Marillion, in Misplaced Childhood, 1985



Criados em 1978, os Marillion são os herdeiros de uma primeira banda denominada «Silmarillion» e que, em meados da década de 70, surpreenderam os ouvidos mais convencionais com um novo tipo de rock que rapidamente foi incluído na «new wave of progressive rock», uma corrente de grupos que apareceram em força, há cerca de 25 anos, em Inglaterra. «Kayleigh» é o tema mais bem conseguido e reconhecido, mas muitos outros trabalhos desta banda britânica merecem ser ouvidos, como «Holidays on Eden», «Clutching at Straws», «Brief Encounter», ou o bem mais recente «This Strange Engine». Só é pena que a maior parte dos álbuns dos Marillion já não estejam disponíveis no mercado português...
