[Verse]
Did I tell you bout the time you failed to recognize my heart?
I couldn t find a way to betray you in my arms
You held a beauty but I didn t care
For you parked your markings on your arm there
Did I tell you that inspite of you I sealed my fate?
And that I held you in my gaze to finally pace my gain
And though it always was away from you
Oh I can t deny you like I used to do
[Chorus]
So cradle me now in your arms, London city
Listen it s time to forgive and forget
It s funny how you defied something in me
But wait a minute, I ve not finished yet
[Verse 2]
Do you remember when you called me out of Castlereagh Place?
How you swore to me a future through the troubles I d face?
That broken promise that we feel and tame
Oh but now I realize you were not to blame
[Chorus]
So cradle me now in your arms, London city
Surely it s time to forgive and forget
Yeah It s funny how you defied something in me
But wait a minute, I m not finished yet
[Bridge]
Lost friends, River Thames, Caledonian Road, Westminster
St. Paul s Cathedral, and the round parts of the Regal
And that bumbling buffoon, the Prime Minister
And the East End where there are hard men
Where they fight for good reason every now and then
In their nods and their smiles, they say I m so rarified
I m shining like a beacon in the evening light would
[Pre-Chorus]
It all left me strong-eyed like an alley cat
But then you fed me and I remember that
So I guess what I m saying is you re not that bad
[Chorus]
So cradle me now in your arms, London city
Surely it s time to forgive and forget
Yeah It s funny how you defied something in me
But wait a minute, I m not finished yet
