Did You See The Tide Come In?
Did You See The Tide Come In?
Charging down the street with a gun in his hand
The flash of color that filled your heart
The sound of the street as it wound up your life
It's another day, waiting for the sun to shine
Just another day, but the weather's never fine
Oh, London time
I'm so lucky to be free
I'll be lucky to be free
It's another day, wasted with another sign
This is the city of life
And in the city all life dies
From Baker Street Station
The underground trains
Are taking you home
To the old New Zealand
The horse that you bet on
Didn't make a friend
The valium you take in
To kill the pain
It's another day
Waiting for the sun to shine
These London times
He cries a lot
He waits to die
And looks around
And hopes to fly
God knows the people look at you
Like they always, always, always knew
I'm so lucky to be free
I'll be lucky to be free
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la
