Battersea
A war, torn town, along the ancient darks of the river thames,
I was captured by a glance, I didn´t understand,
She looked throught me, there in Battersea.
A cold, stone pub, I was searching for asylum weary from the road,
She whispered that my life,
Was stuck in overload,
How did she know, there in Battersea.
Then through the night,
Just like two strangers paging through,
A life gone by,
We lived ours dreams and read each other minds,
We locked in silent combat´till the dawn.
For one fearless moment,
Never to reapet itself,
For one reckless moment,
We walked on fire, with heaven´s help,
They call to one, Those days and nights,
There in Battersea.
From wandswort bridge,
We watched the sacred waters rushing to the sea,
Could two random hearts find eternity,
It was you and me,
There in Battersea.
Now years from then,
I am settled safely in the blur of life,
My journey takes me back to that one night,
And a girl that changed my heart whith just one glance.
For one fearless moment,
Never to reapet itself,
For one reckless moment,
We walked on fire, with heaven´s help,
They call to one, Those days and nights,
There in Battersea.
Sometimes the night,
Takes you under it´s spell,
Makes you lose all control,
Come out of your shell,
Someday, I might go back to that magical place,
And look for that girl just once more.
For one fearless moment,
Never to reapet itself,
For one reckless moment,
We walked on fire, with heaven´s help,
They call to one, Those days and nights,
There in Battersea.
