Lullaby of Liverpool

I've heard you're back in town tonight
It's been so long I hope you're doing alright
How long was your flight and ho long has it been since I've seen your face
I saw your brother
I'm sorry about your mother
I know it's such a shame but there's no need to explain
Oh she was a one
Stubborn and strong
But underneath she was gentle and kind
Gentle and kind

Since the day you plane flew away
From the streets of Liverpool
To the streets of L.A
I thought about you by the docks in the rain
Day after day and every night was the same
Since the day you plane flew away
From the streets of Liverpool
To the streets of L.A
I thought about you by the docks in the rain
Day after day and every night was the same

How come a girl like you
So pretty kind and clever in everything that you do
Are back on these filthy streets with me
She dried her eyes and smiled and said
Honestly
I've always been in love with you
I don't need the sunshine or a house with a view
And I know that's its been so long but I know deep down that you are the one
You are the one

Since the day you plane flew away
From the streets of Liverpool
To the streets of L.A
I thought about you by the docks in the rain
Day after day and every night was the same
Since the day you plane flew away
From the streets of Liverpool
To the streets of L.A
I thought about you by the docks in the rain
Day after day and every night was the same
