Girl, I know that London's for the leaving
Girl, I know you really had to go
But girl it would be pointless & deceiving

To say it didn't hit me like a blow.

The Thames has turned to grey as if in mourning

London Bridge has hung its head in shame
Cathedral bells toll out a muffled warning
The statues cry after the bitter rain.


Chorus
And the subways and the sidewalks call your name

But I know I'll never see your face again
And the sidewalks and the subways call your name
But I know I'll never see your face again.


Girl, I know these streets started to haunt you
Girl, I know that sadness gripped your soul

Girl, I know that life began to taunt you
In a city where no love can match the dole.


Chorus

Instrumental






Chorus


Girl, I know that London's not for dreaming
Girl, I know you needed to be free
Girl, I hope you find life of some meaning

Girl, won't you sometimes think of me.

Chorus (X2)
