London Life - Marti Pellow

The wind speaks in the trees

as the dog walks to the moon

today I’m on my knees

here with my thought balloon

it says-where did I go wrong

what turning did I miss

the paradise is gone

and all that’s left is this

The cars in The Strand

are bumper to bumper

the heat is making me weak

this London life in the summer

as the wheels of fortune squeak

Piccadilly-Russel Square

pretty women walking there

Help me

help me to find

help me to find you here

tell me

tell me this time

this time I will make it clear

that I love you

The sun sits on the fields

the lovers out there lie

me weakness is revealed

in this letter that I write

it says-where did I go wrong

what good will running do

was it a passing phase did

I miss the sign for you

The men in fube are

shoulder to shoulder

the heat is making me weak

its London life in the summer

as the lights change on the street

Chelsea Bridge-Leicester Square

pretty women walking there

Help me

help me to find

help me to find you here

tell me

tell me this time

I’ll make you clear

that I love you

Searching every shadow

trying hard to hear your name

running from the sorrow

right back into your arms again

Help me

help me to find

help me to find you here

tell me

tell me this time

I’ll make you clear

that I love you

After dark in market streets

crowded bars where lovers meet

walking down the alley ways

people who’ve seen much better days

music coming from the shop

the rhythm never seems to stop

I’m looking for you and holding out

you might just be here hanging round

cars are lifted and toued away

another ending another day

hotel porters are hailing cabs

one arm holding two heavy bags

a plane is landing to the West

I look for you and never rest

the dogs still walking to the moon

good night sweet heart see you soon
