New York winter, traffic squeals
The city feels so old
Late December taxi ride
Then run inside it's coldGot your letters Monday
I think or Tuesday I lose track
Since then I've been thinking of you
And I've been looking back toLondon
Can you believe it's so many years since
London
Hitching a ride and carrying knapsacksLondon
In the park by the Thames drinking tea
London
Sitting in pubs and living in walk-upsLondon
Learnin' the accent learnin' to love you
London
We were young we were sure
We were freeWas it really ages
Ago the memories never fade
Can you hear Big Ben where you are
And are you glad you stayed inLondon
Dodging the rain with broken umbrellas
London
Reading The Times on Saturday picnicsLondon
Counting stars till the stars
All were goneLondon
So many plans and nothing but time in
London
Nothing to fear 'cause nothing could last inLondon
We grew close we grew scared
I moved onOh London
What were we scared of
Why did I run from LondonPart of me still has
Never come back from London
Is it fair that I miss
You so muchTake good care all my love
Keep in touch
New York winter taxi ride
Then run inside it's cold
