If I Never See London Again

(album: From Capelton Hill - 2022)

If I never see London again
Say goodbye for me
I love that city
We landed at Heathrow at dawn
An ocean meant nothing back then
You woke and kissed me
And I've got to let it go

I need you, I need you, I need you to be strong
We can't let the past catch up with us for long
I need you, baby, to tell me things will be good

I need you, I want you, I want you to be strong
We can't let the past catch up with us for long
I need you, baby, to move to the future with me
It's the only way we're gonna get free

We walked on the heath in the snow
Counted every last light in the town
Don't you remember?
We stayed till the summer was high
And the shadows were long on the lawn
We were gone by September
Why did we have to go?

I need you, I need you, I need you to be strong
We can't let the past catch up with us for long
I need you, baby, to tell me things will be good

I need you, I want you, I want you to be strong
We can't let the past catch up with us for long
I need you, baby, to move to the future with me
It's the only way we're gonna get free

If I never see London again
If I never see London again

I want you, I want you, I want you to be strong
We can't let the past catch up with us for long
I need you, baby, to move to the future with me

I need you, I need you, I need you to be strong
We can't let the past catch up with us for long
I need you, baby, to tell me things will be good

I need you, I need you, I need you to be strong
We can't let the past catch up with us for long
I need you, baby, to tell me things will be good

I need you, I need you, I need you to be strong
We can't let the past catch up with us for long
I need you, baby, to tell me things will be good

If I never see London again
Say goodbye for me
I love that city
