London

Jeff Lang


I see you standing there 
With your dark hair falling around 
Holding up my pretenses 
I feel defenses fall down 
E Everyone can see 
The crumbling in me 
Last time I walked these streets 
The air was all cold 
I had holes in my shoes 
And an obligation to a role/roll 
To colour in London 
Let it take it's toll.

You give joy with the dances 
And your knowing glances are mine 
You give a hold on attention 
And a full-blown suspension of time 
Everyone could know 
I just stumbled into this show 
Now my ears are ringin 
As you're hanging up the phone 
And all the lines have been singin 
With the way you make 'em your own 
I'm flying into London 
You made it feel like home. 

Now we're done with working 
And there's no-one lurking around 
In our world I don't mind 
Just how slowly time is unwound 
Everyone else is outside 
And I couldn't care less for the reasons why 
Now there's kaleidoscopes 
In the leaves falling in an empty lot 
I'm flying on my feet 
And the target don't judge the shot 
Girl you gave me London 
I'll give you all I've got 
You gave me London.
