lyrics

The Dome Of St Paul’s

There is no sunshine in my smile; there’s been no joy to life for a while
There is no glory to my days not since my woman went away:
But the dome of St Paul’s stands mighty, proud & tall
And I know it will always be there to guide me
For the dome of St. Paul’s stands mighty, proud & tall
As I know light & love will someday find me; will someday find me.

There are no rainbows in my rain; sometimes I wonder if I’m sane
The packs of people are shadows grey but better days will come my way:
For the dome of St Paul’s stands mighty, proud & tall
And I know it will always be there to guide me
For the dome of St. Paul’s stands mighty, proud & tall
As I know light & love will someday find me; will someday find me.

Chorus
And the Thames will keep flowing with all the buildings knowing:
Love’s a mighty river you must ride
And the Thames will keep flowing with all the buildings knowing:
Love will return when you find your pride, will return when you find your pride.

I walk lost inside the crowd; this city closes like a shroud
My woman haunts my every dream; she moves beside me sight unseen
But the dome of St Paul’s stands mighty, proud & tall
And I know it will always be there to guide me
For the dome of St. Paul’s stands mighty, proud & tall
As I know light & love will someday find me; will someday find me.

(instrumental)

Chorus

The London trains & traffic slow; April winds will come with snow
But summer’s waiting in the wings & when it comes my heart will sing:
For the dome of St Paul’s stands mighty, proud & tall
And I know it will be always there to guide me
For the dome of St. Paul’s stands mighty, proud & tall
As I know light & love will someday find me; will someday find me.
