Smoke

So many things have changed
Since I last set foot in London
The air full of smoke
And the man that I spoke to
Have both brought a sting to my eyes

Clouds heavy with rain
May darken the skies
But wash clean the city
My place on Trafalgar is still open late
The faces I've known are still here

Maybe it's me that has changed
Broken and bent by the years and the longing
And the city knows me all too well to be fooled

I can't shake the night
And I can't shake you
Even in London
So far away from the person you always
Imagined I someday could be

So it is me that has changed
Broken and bent by the years and the fighting
And the city knows me all too well to be fooled

Going down London town
Walking a road I've walked a thousand times before
Going down London town
Feels like the first time that I walked it on my own

Wanderlust is a traitorous tune
That will find its way every time
On a plane or a boat, or a dusty old road
The song is the same, but are you?

Going down London town
Walking a road I've walked a thousand times before
Going down London town
Feels like the first time that I walked it on my own
