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.....
