paul mcdermott and steven gates - london lyrics

Loading...

wherever she goes
trouble follows
where she calls home
trouble will be there
i was a boy
of maybe sixteen summers
i didn’t know what i know now
people are bad

i pledged my heart
beneath the weeping willows
beside a lake
where the black swans swim
the very next day
i jumped a plane to london
in the hope that i would
make myself a name

well, i love london and london loves me
i love london and london loves me

i was the kid
they called “the young sparrow”
but out chasing crumbs of bread
i was consumed
i lost my way
in the wheel and barrow
i lost my wallet and my mind
and someone stole my shoes

but i love london and london loves me
i love london and london loves me
i love london and london loves me
i love london and london loves me

it took me years
i never found my fortune
i sold my soul
it never bought me fame
when i came home
not a soul was waiting
i was a ghost in my own town
no one knew my name

(well, i love london)
i found myself
by the black swan river (and london loves me)
(i love london)
i saw my hands (and london loves me)
as they began to fade
(i love london)
i fell away from the world
that held me (and london loves me)
i love london and london loves me

i spoke to a swan
by the weeping willows
she sang her song of love
for me, and me alone
of how she once loved a boy
she called “the young sparrow”
but he died in london
many years ago

well, i love london and london loves me
i love london and london loves me
i love london and london loves me
i love london and london loved me
