London

I'm flying over london on a cold november night

The river snakes across the vast ocean of electric lights

Fast and weightless like this marvel in the sky

The young and restless skateboard in the dark beneath the closing london eye

I'm flying over london looking down at busy streets

I scout to find a few familiar places looking up at me

Seven years since I first stepped off of this plane

And still this city doesn't know my stories my dreams or my first name

Someday I have to say goodbuy

Ti the city that showed me awoke me and broke me

Someday I have to say goodbuy to london

London

I press against the window, my forehead cold and numb

As I search through blurry memories to trace the woman I've become

Between st.mark, brick lane and eve's market cafe

I found my self in pieces, took what I could carry and I threw the rest away

I'm flying over london on a cold november night

Unlit parks like bullet wounds in the blanket of electric light

The city is a living creature all on it's own

And we all push like blood through it's veins

So close together, so alone

Someday I have to say goodbye

To the city that thrilled me and built me and killed me

Someday I have to say goodbye

To london

Someday I have to say goodbye

To the city that moved me and soothed me confused me

Someday I have to say goodbuy

To london

London
