Al Stewart - Bedsitter Images Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The subway station's closed again
  • Sleeps beneath its veil of rain
  • my footprints broken trail behind
  • Steals the nightlights from my mind
  • The dark deserted streets then clear
  • Today has lived and died in here
  • So I leave the chapel gloom
  • To find the shelter of my tiny room
  • But it's alright while the lights of the city shine so bright
  • It's all right till the last winding train fades from sight
  • Then alone in my room I must stay to lose or win
  • While these wild bedsitter images come back to hem me in
  • The panneled patens (patterns?) on the door
  • chase shivering shadows to the floor
  • Upon the pillow worn and thin
  • the memories of hopes begin
  • the carpet with its flowers and shredding
  • spires a foot before my bed
  • the crack that won't return again
  • advancing through my broken window pane
  • But it's alright while the lights of the city shine so bright
  • It's all right till the last winding train fades from sight
  • Then alone in my room I must stay to lose or win
  • While these wild bedsitter images come back to hem me in
  • The friends I've left back home all write
  • with laughing words that warm my sight
  • saying "Tell us, how's the city life?"
  • I reply and say just fine (why?)
  • and so you see I can't go back
  • until I either win or crack
  • I'm standing in a one way street
  • The stage is set
  • The story incomplete
  • But it's alright while the lights of the city shine so bright
  • It's all right till the last winding train fades from sight
  • Then alone in my room I must stay to lose or win
  • While these wild bedsitter images come back to hem me in
