Lyrics
London Skies
I cleared my things from my old room,
I thought I had walls until I saw yours,
In the stillness of your calm eyes,
Under darkening London skies.
Hanging over the day, an arrangement,
You were scared at what you might find,
But you braved my old lies with dignity high,
Then we flew over London skies.
We were flying through, flying through,
Flying through London Skies
Now as you sit on the window ledge,
The moon reflecting on your naked legs,
You open your heart to me,
Things that even you didn?t see,
Then you sat and you cried and you cried,
At the way your people had lied,
The next morning you won?t remember,
We were flying through London skies.
We were flying through, flying through,
Flying through London Skies
I had given up trying to reach you,
But you opened your heart?s inside,
At the dawn you didn?t know what you?d given,
On our trip through the London skies.
From the sinking quicksand I take your hand,
Hoping somehow we?d never land,
I?ll never forget no matter how hard I try,
Flying high over London skies.
We were flying through, flying through,
Flying through London Skies
