i put on my london fog
and turn the porch light on
heading into town i see
that every soul has gone
but maybe if i stand under your window
there's a chance that you might see
the night has gotten colder
i could use some company
one always sees the morning with a purer mind
i used to live in dreams
when my foolishness was blind
so even if you peered
into this nearly-empty street
it wouldn't change a thing
for our distanced eyes to meet
we're worlds apart
but the years will only show
you're up there still
and i'm three storeys down below
soul-mates are a seldom lot
most are slippery as fish
joy comes from the lord above,
so contentment is my final wish
these trifles and my visions will only die
when you have gone
but i am on this path to find
where i belong
we're worlds apart
and the years will only show
you're up there still
and i'm three storeys down below
we're worlds apart
but the years will only show
you're up there still
and i'm three storeys down below
the dying son of man
who kept silent for his cause
when everyone he loved
scorned everything he was
the plight of separation
when hearts have turned to stone
and winter coats won't save us
from how cold we've grown
it's funny how these brick walls
they bleed mollifying stains
and memories flood me gently
like the ground after the rain
we're worlds apart
but the years will only show
you're up there still
and i'm three storeys down below
we're worlds apart
but the years will only show, ya
you're up there still, you're up there still
you're up there still, you're up there still
you're up there still
and i'm three storeys down below
and i'm three storeys down below, ya
