London Life

Marti Pellow

Help me to find

The wind speaks in the trees
As the dog walks to the moon 
Today I'm on my knees
Here with my thought balloon
It says where did I go wrong
What turning did I miss
The paradise is gone
And all that's left is this

The cars in The Strand
Are bumper to bumper
The heat it is making me weak
This London life in the summer
As the wheels of fortune squeak
Piccadilly, Russell Square
Pretty woman everywhere

Help me
Help me to find
Help me to find you there, yeah
And tell me
Tell me this time
I'll make it clear
That I love you
That I love you

The sun sits in the field 
The lovers out there laid
My weakness is revealed
In this letter that I write
It says, where did I go wrong
What good will running do
Was it a passing phase
I miss the sign for you

The men in the tube 
Are shoulder to shoulder
The heat it is making me weak
Its London life in the summer
As the lights change on the street
On Chelsea Bridge, Leicester Square
Pretty woman walking there

Help me
Help me to find
Help me to find you there, yeah
And tell me
Tell me this time
I'll make it clear
That I love you

Searching every shadow
Trying hard to hear your name, yeah
Running from the sorrow
Right back into your arms again, yeah

Help me
Help me to find
Help me to find you there, yeah
And tell me
And tell me this time
I'll make it clear
That I love you
That I love you

(Come on, come on)
Help me to find
Help me to find
Help me
Help me to find
(Come on, come on)
Help me
Help me to find
(Come on, come on)
Help me
Help me to find
(Come on, come on)
Help me
Help me to find

And after dark in market streets
Crowded bars where lovers meet
Walking down the alley ways
People you've seen much better days
Music coming from the shop
The rhythm never seems to stop
I'm looking for you holding out 
You might just be there hanging around
Cars are lifted and toed away 
Another ending, another day
Hotel porters, hailing cabs
One arm holding, two heavy bags
A plane is landing to the West
I look for you and never rest
The dogs will walking to the moon
Good night sweet heart, see you soon

See you soon
