lyrics

STREETS OF LONDON

The strings of my heart are so thin and so taut
I’d rather call in late than not show up
I’d rather give myself away than be bought

But when the sun gives herself away
She colors me crazy, she colors me gray
But on the moon's sweet return
She colors me pretty, she calls me to play

The rules of the game
Are so quick to take change
I’d rather go all in than play it safe
I’d rather lose it all than fold an ace

But when the sun gives herself away
She colors me crazy, she colors me gray
But on the moon's sweet return
She colors me pretty, she calls me to play

Our love affair wanders through the night
and while others might be fearful we do just fine
with our hearts pinned to our sleeves
on the streets of London is where we’ll be
on the streets of London is where we’ll be

But when the sun gives herself away
She colors me crazy, she colors me gray
But on the moon's sweet return
She colors me pretty, she calls me to play
