Goodnight London - Seeming

I thought I felt an earthquake

I thought I’d had a stroke

When the city full of people

Turned to shadows made of smoke

Now huddled with my wireless

And an atlas of the earth

I’ll say my little words, yes, I

Will spin the globe and watch it die

And wish you all a fond goodbye

For what it may be worth

The bombers have been sighted over Paris

So now it’s just a question of how long

And Pittsburgh, we’ll remember you

And farewell, Buenos Aires

And no one’s left to see

The fires in Hong Kong

So goodnight London

Goodnight

Goodnight London

Goodnight

There goes Salt Lake City

Where my best friend Kelly lived

And through the static

I can hear the sendoff in Madrid

I kissed a girl from Moscow once

But now the Kremlin’s ash

So please accept my little blessing song

I’ll sing to all the lost as long as I’m alive

There goes Saigon in the mercy of the flash

The bombers have been sighted over Paris

So now it’s just a question of how long

And Pittsburgh, we’ll remember you

And farewell, Buenos Aires

And no one’s left to see

The fires in Hong Kong

So goodnight London

Goodnight

Goodnight London

Goodnight

And the stars above explode

Eternal ballet from the black

And maybe this is fitting that

We dance with light right back

I never got to know Australia

Sorry that I never wrote, Shanghai

Lower the curtain down on Memphis

And snuff out the candle on Mumbai

So goodnight London

Goodnight

Goodnight London

Goodnight

Goodnight London

Goodnight

Goodnight London

Goodnight

Goodnight

Goodnight
