lyrics

Lonely Of London

Lonely of London can you hear me grieving?
The woman who loved me now has another man
Lonely of London I’ve been numb since her leaving
But while you walk beside me I know I can stand.

Lonely of London I was lost to my sorrow
But I believe in tomorrow more than yesterday
Lonely of London my sad heart I will follow
For its stored some love for another day.

Chorus
Love is inclement say the bells of St Clements
It’s not worth two farthings say the bells of St Martins
I know that it saved me say the bells of Old Bailey
It hurts like a bitch say the bells of Shoreditch
When will new love be say the bells of Stepney
When she comes you will know says the great bell of Bow.

Lonely of London since she has departed
I’ve been broken hearted & barely alive
Lonely of London I sail grief unchartered
But while I walk with you I know I will survive.

Lonely of London she still lives close by me
There’s a deep hurt inside me when I see her drive by
Lonely of London you know you must free me
For while you can guide me I know love can’t die.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Chorus

Lonely of London my lover loves another
Though I may never recover: still I can feel
Lonely of London my friends, sisters & brothers
Won’t you walk beside me ‘til this heart heals?
Won’t you walk beside me ‘til this heart heals?
Won’t you walk beside me ‘til this heart heals?
