London - Vanessa Carlton

Waste away the days

Waiting on a new age

But time betrays me

And I get older one more year

Walk London’s windy streets

Go anywhere but home

'Cause I’m looking for the secrets

That only cobblestones hold

Only the cobblestones know

And I’ve never been so sure

That after all these years, I’ll never learn

That heavenly creatures never come

You’ve got a knife-throwing kind of love

But your silence cuts the deepest

And I know I’ve made a mess of things

And I’m sorry for all that

Wish we could get the time back

Because I’ve never been so sure

That after all these years, I’ll never learn

That heavenly creatures never come

Wait for it

Wait for it

Now I’m staring at the sun

As if there’s a riddle I’m not in on

'Cause the wolves howl to the Moon

And she never answers back

No, she never answers back

And after all these years, I’ll never learn

That heavenly creatures never, never been so sure

That after all these years, I’ll never learn

That heavenly creatures never come, oh

Waste away the days

Waiting on a new age
