Jimi Jamison - Battersea lyrics

rate me

war – torn town – Along the ancient banks

Of the river Thames

I was captured by a glance I didn't understand

She looken through me – there in Battersea

A cold – stone pub – I was searching for asylum

Weary from the road

She whispered that my life

Was stuck in overload

How did She know – there in Battersea

Then through the night

Just like two strangers paging through

A life gone by

We lived our dreams and read each other minds

We locked silent combat 'till the dawn

For one fearless moment

Never to repeat itself

For one reckless moment

We walked on fire with heaven's help

They call to me – those days and nights

There in Battersea

From wandsworth bridge

We watched the sacred waters rushing to the sea

Could two random hearts find eternity

It was you and me

There in Battersea

Now years from then

I am settled safely in the blur of life

My journey takes me back to that one night

And a girl that changed my heart with just one giance

Sometimes the night

Takes you under it's spell

Makes you lose all control

Come out of your shell (someday)

I might go back to that magical place

And look for that girl just one more
