Lyrics
I walked the streets of London
And the avenues of New York
Not knowin' where I was goin'
This here fun seemed more like work.
Chorus:
Fellin' too blue about you
The evening hours through
Are you too blue too?
Guitar in one hand
My suitcase in the other
Free association was my plan
But cloudy was the weather.
Repeat Chorus
I'll be coming home soon
Not sure exactly when
Maybe the next blue moon
We'll see each other again.
Repeat Chorus
I'm sitting by the tracks now
Cryin' a tear or two
Wonderin' if somewhere, somehow
I'll make it back to you.
Chorus Repeat
I walked the streets of London
And the avenues of New York.
Not knowin' where I was goin'
This here fun seemed more like work.
Repeat Chorus
