Listening to Waterloo Sunset ...

I'm listening to Waterloo Sunset - 

I'm in a city made of memory and dream -

I'm with my dad in the National Gallery - 

We stand looking at La Grande Jatte -

He tells me he's reading Tender is the Night -

I'm smoking Gitanes in Gordon Square - 

I'm wearing a leather jacket - 

The streets are magical and lonely - 

I'm dancing to Jean Genie - 

I'm scribbling notes in a marble library - 

In Highgate the pavements are covered with Autumn leaves - 

A lift takes me down to a midnight platform - 

Trains are filled with invisible people - 

I see my face in the dark window - 

I'm crossing the river - 

I never knew the river was so wide -
