I stood in Piccadilly and I thought I heard the sea Thought I heard the sea And a thousand voices laughed at me I saw an aeroplane up in the sky, I shot it down Yes, I shot it down And I watched it fall without a sound
Please don’t leave me in this lonely, lonely city Please don’t leave me all alone in this town With every word you say you’re breathing sweet air I knew And I’m bleeding with the scent and with the sound.
We saw a boy wave from the bridge but nobody waved back Not a soul waved back And he waved until the day grew black I know you did oppose it but you filled my glass again Filled it to the brim And you’re hoping it might ease the pain
Please don’t leave me in this lonely, lonely city Please don’t leave me all alone in this town
