Baker Street
Journey of Reflection on Baker Street
Lyrics
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Traveling down Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Feeling mentally bright but physically exhausted
Well, another crazy day
Another chaotic or unpredictable day
You'll drink the night away
Using alcohol to cope with or escape from life's stresses
And forget about everything
Intending to forget about one's troubles
This city desert makes you feel so cold
Feeling emotionally isolated in a crowded city
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul
City lacks depth or meaningfulness despite its population
And it's taken you so long
Realizing it took a long time to understand a misconception
To find out you were wrong
Discovering a previous belief was incorrect
When you thought it held everything
Belief that the city offered everything was mistaken
You used to think that it was so easy
Formerly believed life was easy
You used to say that it was so easy
Previously thought life was effortless
But you're trying, you're trying now
Struggling and making efforts presently
Another year and then you'd be happy
Hope for future happiness after a year
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
Believing happiness is attainable in a year
But you're crying, you're crying now
Presently feeling sad and emotional
Way down the street there's a light in his place
Seeing a light at a distant place on the street
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
Someone with a particular expression awaits
And he asks you where you've been
Questioned about whereabouts
You tell him who you've seen
Sharing details about encounters
And you talk about anything
Engaging in conversation about anything
He's got this dream about buying some land
Having aspirations of land ownership
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
Planning to give up drinking and casual relationships
And then he'll settle down
Intentions to settle in a peaceful town
In some quiet little town
Forgetting all troubles
And forget about everything
Aware of someone's perpetual movement
But you know he'll always keep moving
Understanding continuous restlessness in someone
You know he's never gonna stop moving
Acknowledging someone's perpetual motion
'Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone
Describing someone as a wanderer
And when you wake up, it's a new morning
Waking up to a new day full of positivity
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
Expressing the start of a bright new day
And you're going, you're going home
Heading back home
