Garry Rafferty - Baker Street lyrics

rate me

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 tryin', you're tryin' now.

Another year and then you'd be happy

Just one more year and then you'd be happy

But you're cryin', you're cryin' 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, it's a quiet little town

And forget about everything.

But you know he'll always keep movin'

You know he's never gonna stop movin'

Cause he's rollin', he's the rollin' stone.

And when you wake up it's a new morning

The sun is shining, it's a new morning

But you're going, you're going home
