London Nights

You hailed a sleigh and fled the house
Take me somewhere else
In the city you were boused
You would try anything
To keep the cold at bay
Reflecting the city circle empty and grey
Roaming to find a light to fit
In your coat pocket
Something to hold in your mitt
Floating to another home
For shelter from the storm
No one sees you in your current form
The wheels you use to walk are getting worn
And the outskirts of the city
Never felt like a tall order
But maybe it should
Feeling forlorn you find a bench
Feeling weary about what you lack
Carrying the weight on your back
When a stranger approaches
In his hands a sack
Asks to sit and you accept
He wants to take what you carry
And what you mask into the snow
Buried forever done at last
You can't move forward if you don't accept your past
It's ok if this moment doesn’t last
We’ll burn the house
Down if there's a chance
To glance at the shame
That you’ve been hiding under a mask
You only have to ask
Here, I'm here
I'm always here
Even when London nights are near
Here, I'm here
I'm always here
Even when London nights are near
