I'm flying over London On a cold November night The river snakes across the vast ocean of electric lights Fast and weightless like this marvel in the sky The young and restless skateboard in the dark beneath the closing London Eye I'm flying over London Looking down at busy streets I scout to find a few familiar places looking up at me Seven years since I first got of off this plane And still this city doesn't know my stories or my dreams orm y first name Someday I have to say goodbye To the city that showed me, awoke me and broke me Someday I have to say goodbye to London I press against the window My forehead cold and numb As I search through blurry memories to trace the woman I've become Between St. Mark, Brick Lane and Eve's Market Cafe I found myself in pjeces Took what I could carry and I threw the rest away I'm flying over London On a cold November night Unlit parks like bullet wounds in the blanket of electric lights The city is a living creature all on its own And we all push like blood through its veins So close together So alone Someday I have to say goodbye To the city that thrilled me and built me and killed me Someday I have to say goodbye to London Someday I have to say goodbye To the city that moved me and soothed me, confused me Someday I have to say goodbye to London
