Rainy night in London

Maailmassani on neljä kaupunkia joissa voisin asua. Yksi on kotikaupunkini Helsinki, loput löytyvät jostakin muualta. Allaolevaa tekstiä en itse ole kokonaan kehitellyt, alkuperäinen versio on jo yli 20 vuoden ikäinen. Mutta omalta osaltani teksti pitää edelleen hyvin paikkaansa, oli sitten kohteena rakastamani kaupunki tai jotakin muuta vielä tärkeämpää...

I've been loving you a long time
Down all the years, down all the days
And I've cried for all your troubles
Smiled at your funny little ways
We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into Hell

I took shelter from a shower
And I stepped into your arms
On a cold rainy night in London
The wind was whistling all its charms
I sang you all my sorrows
You told me all your joys
Whatever happened to that old song
To all those little girls and boys

Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
But there's a light I hold before me
And you're the measure of my dreams
The measure of my dreams

Sometimes I wake up in the early morning
I saw picture of you in my head
I'm not thinking for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking about of the first time
I never think about the last time

Lontoo kiittää ja toivottaa hyvää yötä kaikille.


Mr. T.
