Tina Dickow - London lyrics

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 skateboarding 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 of off this plane
And still this city doesn't know my stories or my dreams or my first name

Someday I have to say goodbye
To the city that showed me, awoke me and broke me
Someday I have to say goodbye to London
Yeah, London

I'm pressed against the window, my forehead cold and num
As I search through blurred memories to trace the woman I've become
Between Saint Mark, Brick Lane and Eve's Market Caf
