London Lyrics

On the street that i live there is room to see the sky
On the street that i live there are seldom passersby
Stay in here a while love it is bound to do you good
Stay in here with me love though i know you never would

Once i was a young man who would die upon his hill
In my own way i remain a very young man still
The leaves they have been falling love on many a green sprung day
In the last a million leaves could not tempt you away away away

Away from London
And the life that you have made
There will always be some fair or some parade
The lights that entice you to stay
And the loved one, the pendant on your chain
The loved one who you followed there in vain
He'll not love you again, still you stay
All that we've outlasted love, all those famous things All that we've outlasted love, rebellions, uprisings
But no love could outlast the steel and glass upon the clay
As we awake the flood to wash the master's house away

Away from London
And the life that you have made
There will always be some fair or some parade
The lights that entice you to stay
And the loved one, the pendant on your chain
The loved one who you followed there in vain
He'll not love you again, still you stay

Stay in London
And think no more on me
Waking in the middle of the night
The stars and the moon shining bright, stay

Stay in London
For you know where I will be
Counting all the bets that I have hedged
Through seven years here in Nether Edge, stay
