London Is Calling Lyrics

London is calling, calling

Your name

And out of the fog it plays a game

Some days I lose

The city I'm from

London is calling, calling your name

Whispers through shadows

And through its fame

And anonymity hides people and souls as a transient population flows onto the west side of town

And you just survive, sometimes

You barely survive

London can't hear me cry as I'm talking back

Swallowed by the sky

My voice starts to crack

I lost my place and found it here

I left my home and made it here

Dug up my life and sewed the seeds to grow a great big tree

And I just survive, sometimes

I barely survive

It's hard to wake up when it's a cold day

There's someone waiting to take my place

Steal my air supply in the elevator and subways

No privacy but alone being watched all day

And you just survive, sometimes

You barely survive
