New York winter traffic squeals
The city feels...so old
Late December taxi ride
Then run inside it's cold
Got your letters Monday
I think, or Tuesday
I lose track
Since then I've been thinking of you
And I've been looking back to
London
Can you believe it's so many years since
London
Hitching a ride and carrying knapsacks
London
In the park by the Thames Drinking tea
London
Sitting in pubs and living in walk-ups
London
Learnin' the accent learnin' to love you
London
We were young we were sure
We were... free
Was it really ages ago
The memories never fade
Can you hear Big Ben where you are
And are you glad you stayed in
The city feels...so old
Late December taxi ride
Then run inside it's cold
Got your letters Monday
I think, or Tuesday
I lose track
Since then I've been thinking of you
And I've been looking back to
London
Can you believe it's so many years since
London
Hitching a ride and carrying knapsacks
London
In the park by the Thames Drinking tea
London
Sitting in pubs and living in walk-ups
London
Learnin' the accent learnin' to love you
London
We were young we were sure
We were... free
Was it really ages ago
The memories never fade
Can you hear Big Ben where you are
And are you glad you stayed in
