I smile when I get back
Tears in my eyes
I feel this city vibrate
Its heartbeat and its bones
I’m back in time to kiss you
You sit up and watch me mark out my day
Sipping my cup of hot water
Reliving the moments of joy and sadness
The journey
I’ve been carried
I’m finally back in London
This city, it sleeps sometimes
I feel my breathing change, relaxing
The water is getting cold
You find a place to put me
As I’m falling fast asleep.
