Lyrics
the lights of london fall on me
left to right these people walk free
i follow the tube up to the square
with rain on my face
i've missed this, i swear...
look that look
and say those words
the ghosts of kings and queens
can't steal you from me
the lights of london breathe on me
up and down i walk these streets
from flat to flat i go with you
with cobblestone beneath my feet
we outlived the moon
look that look
and say those words
the ghosts of kings and queens
can't steal you from me
say what you say
when we wake
the ghosts of kings and queens
can't fade these memories
