This rug and my flat pulled from under my feet
So I start the journey away from the Thames.
To a town that can stand me,
It hasn't a choice, still a home for
Some family and friends.
And I'm grateful to others,
Cos they took me in
Made sure I was out of my face
But a realisation appeared over time,
It's not the girl I missed, it was the place
This was my city once and I will return
There's still a part of me for the city it burns.
This was my city once and I will return
These days I meander from city to town
The villages and places I roam
And the sprawling communities
That welcome me in, I feel lucky,
It's still not my home
This was my city once and I will return
There's still a part of me for the city it burns.
This was my city once and I will return
These are my cobbled streets, and the Architecture towers over me
The skyline tonight has stolen my heart,
Such beauty
It's passion it fuels my belief, that the city Breaths life underneath
And the memories I lose,
When I've capsized on booze and I can't remember my own name
Now I don't know where my home is,
Searched High and low,
But the compass spins
And I'd lay my hat, but I always wear it
And I ended where this trail begins
This was my city once and I will return
There's still a part of me for the city it burns.
This was my city once and I will return
So pour me a drink friend
And pull up a chair and
Tell me everything is going to be fine
