London at Night

Under another cold starry night at London

I stand alone smoking all my fears away

Notions of crickets are brought by the wind

In between the roaring sounds of a busy town

I spot a cat’s eyes floating among shades of grey

And I wonder if I just made another friend

Blurred by the fog there are planes and lights,

And my body’s shaking from the strange weather

This cat purring on my lap almost feels like home

But home is a world away, under a sun so bright

Where the warm falling rain feels much better

Than this cold wind that is freezing me to the bone.

So we finally are where we’ve always wanted to be,

Kissing life in the mouth while dreams come true

Who would’ve thought it would feel so good?

It’s as if there were a thousand words inside of me

And none was perfect enough to be heard by you

But after all, perhaps neither they should…

My body’s still sitting here, absorbing the night

Even though my mind’s reaching for the stars

That the clouds are trying to hide in the blue

However, the young clouds are losing this fight

So between sights of planes and sounds of cars

I can’t forget that these stars look down on you too.
