We trudged through the darkness one late rainy night
Big Ben persisted to toll through the fight
We looked out over the river, the one called La Seine
And took comfort as bells rang out counting to ten
This winter is cold now and the look in your eyes
Has led me to dreaming and sleeping and sighs
These clouds grow more suffocating each day
Desperate I claw for escape, let's away
I need sunlight and starlight and streetlights for that
I need laughter I've known since my youth and to pat
Absentminded, gently, the head of a dog
Whose touch might bring clarity to my brain in this fog
It is dark here now; don't you see, all's gone dark
And the London bells toll 'cross the sea in some park
