Ray Davies & Chrissie Hynde - Postcard From London lyrics

rate me

<br>I found a postcard the other day <br>A faded photograph taken of a cold winterscape <br> <br>And all the children that gathered round <br>Asked what the place was on the faded card that I had found <br> <br>It was a city I used to know <br>And as a child when it was Christmas <br>I played in the winter snow <br> <br>It was the homeland I left behind <br>A better future waiting in the new world that we hoped to find <br> <br>Across the oceans far south we came <br>And left the country that somehow we knew we'd never see again <br> <br>And read the message that you wrote <br>On the reverse of that same postcard always seemed to give me hope <br> <br>Though time will pass us and fade from view <br>I hope sometimes you think of me because I'll always think of you <br> <br>And to the children who gathered round <br>I said 'This is the place of long ago we all called London Town' <br> <br>Postcard from London's romantic views <br>Only serve to keep reminding me of how much I missed you <br> <br>Postcard from London <br>Postcard from London Town <br>Postcard from London <br>Postcard from London Town <br> <br>We built a snowman by Hampstead Pond <br>Walked down to Waterloo at Yuletide and we sang so many songs <br> <br>Later you went there not to return <br>I took for granted love we had now I will always yearn <br>For the great city we used to know <br>We were so innocent back then when we played in the winter snow <br> <br>And now the children who gather round <br>Ask where the place is in the postcard <br>I say proudly 'It was London Town' <br> <br>Postcard from London <br>Postcard from London Town <br>Postcard from London <br>Postcard from London Town <br>Postcard from London <br>Postcard from London Town <br>London Town<br><!-- stopprint -->
