London's Not Too Far - Cliff Richard, The Shadows

She takes the step, that’ll mean goodbye to home

She knows it’s time to make the break

She’s got a bag with a mirror, brush and comb

That’s all she really needs to take

She’s got to travel light

She’s walking all the way

«London's not too far»

She’s heard the neighbour say

Her heart just beats like it’s never done before

If someone stops her life, she’ll die

A little prayer as she tumbles with the door

She hopes her mom and dad won’t cry

She planned it all herself

And now she’s on her way

«London's not too far»

She’s heard the neighbour say

She’s so in love with a man she doesn’t know

She’s only seen him on T. V

But love is strong and it’s calling her to go

To London where he’s sure to be

The door is open now

She’s free to walk away

«London's not too far»

She’s heard the neighbour say

She looks outside, it’s a wet and windy night

It looks so very dark and cold

She thinks perhaps London’s not so very bright

Especially when you’re five years old
