Goodnight London Songtext
von Seeming

I thought it was an earthquake
I thought it was a storm
But in the sidewalk framed
A gallery of the shadow ships with form

And huddled with my wireless
And an atlas of the earth
I′ll say my little words
Yes, I will spin the globe and watch it die
And wish you all a fond goodbye
For what it may be worth

And the bombers have been sighted over Paris
So now it's just a question of how long
And Pittsburgh, we′ll remember you
And farewell, Buenos Aires
And no one's left to see
The fires in Hong Kong


So goodnight London
Goodnight
Goodnight London
Goodnight

There goes Salt Lake City
Where my good friend Kelly lived
And through the static
I can hear the send-off in Madrid

And I kissed a girl from Moscow once
Now the Kremlin's ash
So accept my little blessing song
I′ll sing to all the lost as long as I′m alive
There goes Saigon in the mercy of the flash

And the bombers have been sighted over Paris
So now it's just a question of how long
And Pittsburgh, we′ll remember you
And farewell, Buenos Aires
And no one's left to see
The fires in Hong Kong

So goodnight London
Goodnight
Goodnight London
Goodnight


And the stars above explode
Eternal ballet from the black
And I think it′s only fitting that
We dance with light right back

I never got to know Australia
Sorry that I never wrote, Shanghai
Lower the curtain down on Memphis
And snuff out the candle on Mumbai

So goodnight London
Goodnight
Goodnight London
Goodnight

Goodnight London
Goodnight
Goodnight London
Goodnight

Goodnight
Goodnight
