Longing for London

Town brimming with life,

I long for London

Music and pubs and busy streets

Don’t like the traffic jams,

Oh no

but  I do love

Red busses and black cabs, too

Driving to Camden and big London Zoo

Brimming with life

I long for London

Sun’s always shining, before or after

Rain’s falling down

Noise in the streets, exhibitions waiting

For you to see William Turner’s painting

Or Allen Jones Spring-like cheeky style

Love the big parks, full of space

Pubs in town selling fine pale ales

(Surprising tastes, makes you want more)

Brimming with life

I long for London

View over Thames in Greenwich park

Go for a walk to Cutty Sark

Brimming with life

I long for London

Town’s like the man I am longing for,

Available sometimes, easy to adore

Good spirit, warm arms,

familiar and true

But always with distance, makes me feel safe

Little uncomfy, that’s how my nature behaves

So Brimming with life

I long for London

Strange beauty, city so kind

Like my man I’m longing for,

Always on my mind
