I'm going to fly on straight as an arrow
I'm going to keep on that straightened arrow
I've got my ticket for another line
I hope that train'll get me there on time
I hope it all looks just the same in Nightingale Lane
And you will see me, oh when you reach the turning
There's Mister Sunset, oh it's like the house is burning
You can't be sure that I will hear your tape
Until I get through that old garden gate
Until I get back home again to Nightingale Lane
Oh looking from my balcony I see
The people walking by
Oh I'd like to ask the mornings how to mitigate
I think they oughta try
South of the river is like another world
It's like a smiling face upon a pretty girl
It's like a patting for your precious friends
You're getting near it when you cross the Thames, honey
It looks good even in the rain on Nightingale Lane
Oh looking from my balcony I see
The people walking by
Oh I'd like to ask the mornings how to mitigate
I think they oughta try
South of the river is like another world
It's like a smiling face upon a pretty girl
It's like a patting for your precious friends
You're getting near it when you cross the Thames, honey
It looks good even in the rain on Nightingale Lane
