The Rendezvous Café

about

The legendary Rendezvous Café on the seafront in Whitley Bay. Unchanged in my lifetime, still run by the same family.

lyrics

The Rendezvous Café

Outside the Rendezvous Café I held her hand
She couldn’t wait to get away across the low tide silver sand
I climbed the rocks so I could see her go
My heart was beating like a rodeo
And the seagulls cried in sympathy
But I don’t need her if she don’t need me

I’m walking alone along memory lane
It’s the place I go nearly every day
I am waving goodbye my absentee
I never loved her like I love her memory

Outside the Rendezvous Café I make a stand
Eating an ice cream on a cloudy day and building castles in the sand
I trace the patterns that we never made
I gave away the gifts she never gave
And turn my back on a northern sea
I don’t need her if she don’t need me

I’m walking alone along memory lane
It’s the place I go nearly every day
I am waving goodbye my absentee
I never loved her like I love her memory

"You never can be sure what kind of project Jim will come up with next, but you can always be sure it's gonna be pretty darn good." Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music.

Jim's songs range from the whimsical to some of the most bitter and somber themes, yet always with a paradoxical childlike spirit that meets them head-on – wide-eyed and full of hopeful energy.
