London - Rie Fu

The air was dry in London, I was on the bus to holborn

The orange light upon the eye was getting in my way

Everybody’s saying What are you going to do afterwards?

What are you going to do after you graduate?

The air was dry in London

I was watching the cars and the taxis that go by

The orange light upon the eye was getting in my way

Everybody’s running, everybody’s standing still

Everybody’s waiting for you

Get on the westbound, change at Baker Street station

Buskers keep on playing the day

The smell of beers and bottles, roses and regattas

Doves and newspapers fly away

And We’ll be walking down the river

Pretty houses down the stream

Look down at the pavement, and it’s looking back at me

Time goes by so slowly, no long distance calls to blame

Yes, you have made my day!

The air was dry in London, I was on the bus to Old Street

The orange light upon the eye was getting in my way

Everybody’s running, everybody’s speeding up

But I’m right here waiting for you

Get on the southbound change at Waterloo station

Men in suits are playing the day

The smell of cigarettes on the tip of my hair

Doves and newspapers fly away

And We’ll be walking down the river

Pretty houses down the stream

Look down at the pavement, and it’s looking back at me

Time goes by so slowly, no long distance calls to blame

Yes, you have made my day!

Get on the rapid train, I’m running late again

Men in suits are playing the day

The smell of beers and bottles, roses and regattas

Doves and newspapers fly away

And we’ll be laughing as we walk on

Making plans upon our dreams

The wishes come together as we pave our roads so free

Time goes by so slowly, no long distance calls to blame

Yes, you have made my day!

The air was dry in London…
