lyrics

Train doors open at Paddington Station
Solitary stranger in the motherland
Senses awakened to a new vibration
After eight long hours in an airborne tin can
Waited too long to get across the pond
Westminster wanderer with time to burn
Fast mates made, talking late and beer's strong
Last call and out into the London streets turned

Didn't mind taking a break from the masses
Couldn't catch a breath in old Soho
Up above ground with rose coloured glasses
Hopping out the tube at Walthamstow

Happy to know you, my East End brother
Companion and tour guide, for what it's worth
Talking about life and music and lovers
It's the same old struggles on the other side of the earth

Legions of smiles from friendly faces
Sixty bohemians in a nursing home
Browsing trinkets in open air marketplaces
Sunrise high street Walthamstow

And everything's new to me
A place I've only been to in my mind
And it suits my fancy
So much to get through, so little time
East London streets, won't you be mine

Tube to a train to plane out of Heathrow
Bleak morning rolling out of London town
February '20 and who would have known
It was a couple of weeks before the world shut down
Didn't mind taking a break from the masses
Couldn't catch a breath in old Soho
Charmed eyes peering through rose coloured glasses
Walking through the streets of Walthamstow
