Waterloo Sunset

.

Dirty old river, must you keep rolling

Flowing into the night

People so busy, makes me feel dizzy

Taxi light shines so bright

But I don't need no friends

As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset

I am in paradise

.

Every day I look at the world from my window

But chilly, chilly is evening time

Waterloo sunset's fine

.

Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station

Every Friday night

But I am so lazy, don't want to wander

I stay at home at night

But I don't feel afraid

As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset

I am in paradise

.

Every day I look at the world from my window

But chilly, chilly is evening time

Waterloo sunset's fine

.

Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground

But Terry and Julie cross over the river

Where they feel safe and sound

And they don't need no friends

As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset

They are in paradise

.

Waterloo sunset's fine

.
