Midnight In London

Red buses crossing through the dark
Leaving shadows on the edge of the park
I'm walking fast to shake the cold
Searching for a story yet untold
The neon sign is flickering blue
Leading me straight to a ghost of you

Step inside, shake the rain off my coat
The piano plays a lonely note
But then I see you across the room
A sudden light in the Soho gloom

Cobblestones and misty air
I saw the moonlight in your hair
12 AM at the Golden Lion
We're the stars that keep on trying
Oh, London's calling our names tonight
In the middle of the pale street light

Two glasses of amber, a corner booth
Trading secrets, chasing the truth
The fog outside is a heavy screen
But in here, everything's silver and green
Your laughter rings like a chapel bell
A secret heaven in a city hell

Cobblestones and misty air
I saw the moonlight in your hair
12 AM at the Golden Lion
We're the stars that keep on trying
Oh, London's calling our names tonight
In the middle of the pale street light

The Underground is closed for the night
But we don't need a train to feel alright
Let the Thames flow slow, let the world spin fast
We found a moment we can make it last

Cobblestones and misty air
I saw the moonlight in your hair
12 AM at the Golden Lion
We're the stars that keep on trying
Oh, London's calling our names tonight
In the middle of the pale street light

London's calling
Just you and me at the Golden Lion
Midnight (midnight in London)
Stay a little longer
