Lyrics for Song: Baker Street
Lyrics for Album: Georges Lang Volume 2 [2012]
Winding your way down on Baker Street,
Light in your head and dead on your feet,
Well another crazy day, you'll drink the night away,
And forget about everything.
This city desert makes you feel so cold,
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul,
And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything.
You used to think that it was so easy,
You used to say that it was so easy,
But you're trying,
You're trying now.
Another year and then you'd be happy,
Just one more year and then you'd be happy,
But you're crying,
You're crying now.
Way down the street there's a light in his place,
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face,
And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen,
And you talk about anything.
He's got this dream about buyin' some land,
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands,
And then he'll settle down in some quiet little town,
And forget about everything.
But you know he'll always keep moving,
You know he's never gonna stop moving,
'Cos he's rolling,
He's the rolling stone
And when you wake up it's a new morning,
The sun is shining, it's a new morning,
And you're going,
You're going home.
