London
Longing Across London: A Heart's Journey in Melody
Lyrics
My train pulled in to Waterloo
Arrival at Waterloo station
I found myself wishing you
Wishing for someone's presence
Were here with me in London
Expressing desire for the person to be in London
Standing on the river Thames
Observing the Thames River
Taking photographs of Parliament
Taking photos of Parliament
And old Big Ben was ringing
Noticing the sound of Big Ben
You know it's everything that I imagined it would be
London matches expectations, but feeling empty
I had no idea that it would feel this empty
Unexpected emotional emptiness
Where are you tonight
Questioning the absent person's whereabouts
While I stand here and cry
Expressing sadness and tears
Watching double-decker buses pass me by
Observing passing double-decker buses
And to tell you the truth
Admitting the truth about emotions
It's all that I can do
Struggling to resist returning home
To keep from jumping a plane that's headed home
Contemplating a return flight
To you
Expressing the intention to go back
I took a stroll down Abbey Road
Walking on Abbey Road
Tried to peak inside the studio's
Attempting to see inside studios
And somewhere along the way I bought you flowers
Purchasing flowers along the way
And a pocket map of the Underground
Buying a map of the Underground
'Cause You and I both know I get turned around
Acknowledging a tendency to get lost
I'm so lost without you
Feeling lost without the person
Though it's everything that I imagined it would be
London meeting expectations, but emotional void
I had no idea that it would feel this empty
Unexpected emotional emptiness
Six long nights and seven days I'll cross the pond back to the states
Counting days until returning to the States
I can't wait
Eager anticipation of the return
Where are you tonight while I stand here and cry
Reiteration of the person's absence
Watching all the black umbrellas pass me by
Observing passing black umbrellas
And to tell you the truth it's all that I can do
Admitting the struggle to stay away
To keep from jumping on a plane headed home
Contemplating a return flight again
So I'm jumping on a plane headed home to you
Final decision to return home
