Ever Changing Skyline

from Last Drop Of Empty by Dave Sutherland

/

lyrics

Silver and gold pave the ways
Down Bermondsey’s worn alleyways
It’s almost the same as a hallmarked Brighton lane
But so different in oh so many ways

Let me explain what I mean
Down an old Irish boreen
Dew on the heather
And the smell of wet leather
And all of those summers in between

The sheen of the river
Bombers flocks
The ghosts from the warehouse
And docks
The few and the many
Still picking up a penny
From obliterated yellow London stocks

Under the city we did laugh
Along the distilled canal path
A trolley on its head
Ambitions for the path instead
And its three wheels in the mud not moving fast

Ticking and a tocking takes it time
On the ever changing London skyline
Black veils of melancholy
Take an eye out open brolly
On the ever changing London skyline

Silver and gold pave the ways

The ghosts from the warehouse and docks

Ticking and a tocking takes it time

Three wheels in the mud not moving fast

On the ever changing London skyline
On the ever changing London skyline
