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 Yeah 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 But still this city doesn't know my stories or my dreams or my first name Someday I'll have to say goodbye To the city that showed me and wove me and broke me Someday I'll have to say goodbye To London Yeah, 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 Margaret Lane and Eve's Market Cafe I found myself in pieces, took what I could carry and I threw the rest away I'm flying over London on a cold November night Unlit paths like bullet wounds in the blanket of electric lights The city is a living creature all on its own And we all push like blood through its veins So close together. So alone. Songtexte Someday I'll have to say goodbye To the city that thrilled me and built me and killed me and Someday I'll have to say goodbye To London Someday I'll have to say goodbye To the city that moved me and soothed me, confused me and Someday I'll have to say goodbye To London Yeah, London Aus Songtexte Mania
