Wake up to the sun
The child beneath my window singing
St Martin’s and St John’s
Their open-air alarm clocks ringing
Something to remind me that I’m here
Kaleidoscopes of sounds
The cool canal and crowded market
The creatures under ground
Are crawling home from last night’s parties
Laughter plays and echoes round the square
Tells me to remember I was there
High on Parliament Hill
Through the haze above the silver skyline
Lying silently still
You can gaze beyond the blue horizon
Everything to show that we’re alive
Saved and burned and printed in my eyes
The landmarks on my way
The avenues and parks and gardens
Around me every day
Familiar friends and long departed
Every time that I leave
There will always be just one more journey home
The café down the lane
I read the news and nothing changes
The sweetness after rain
The scent of sun on drying pavements
Nothing left to show where it has been
