Bedsitter Images - Al Stewart[00:00:00]
Written by:Al Stewart[00:00:03]
The subway station's closed again[00:00:06]
Sleeps beneath it's veil of rain[00:00:10]
My footprints[00:00:13]
Broken trail behind[00:00:14]
Steals the nightlights[00:00:16]
From my mind[00:00:18]
The dark deserted streets then clear[00:00:19]
Today has lived and died in here[00:00:23]
So I leave the chapel gloom[00:00:26]
To find the shelter of my tiny room[00:00:29]
But it's alright[00:00:34]
While the lights[00:00:36]
Of the city shine so bright[00:00:38]
It's all[00:00:41]
Right till the last[00:00:42]
Winding train fades from sight[00:00:44]
Then alone in my room[00:00:48]
I must stay to lose or win[00:00:51]
While these wild bedsitter images come back[00:00:54]
To hem me in[00:00:59]
The panneled patterns on the door[00:01:09]
Chase shivering shadows[00:01:12]
To the floor[00:01:15]
Upon the pillow[00:01:16]
Worn and thin[00:01:18]
The memories of hopes begin[00:01:19]
The carpet[00:01:22]
With it's flowers and shredding[00:01:23]
Spires a foot before my bed[00:01:25]
The crack that won't return again[00:01:29]
Advancing[00:01:32]
Through my broken window pane[00:01:33]
But it's alright[00:01:37]
While the lights[00:01:39]
Of the city shine so bright[00:01:41]
It's all[00:01:44]
Right till the last winding train fades from sight[00:01:45]
Then alone in my room[00:01:50]
I must stay to lose or win[00:01:54]
While these wild bedsitter images come back[00:01:57]
To hem me in[00:02:02]
The friends I've left back home all write[00:02:12]
With laughing words that warm my sight[00:02:15]
Saying[00:02:18]
Tell us[00:02:19]
How's the city life[00:02:19]
I reply[00:02:21]
And say just fine why[00:02:23]
And so you see I can't go back[00:02:24]
'Til I either win or crack[00:02:28]
I'm standing[00:02:30]
In a one way street[00:02:32]
The stage is set[00:02:34]
The story incomplete[00:02:35]
But it's alright[00:02:40]
While the lights[00:02:41]
Of the city shine so bright[00:02:43]
It's all[00:02:46]
Right till the last winding train fades from sight[00:02:47]
Then alone in my room[00:02:52]
I must stay to lose or win[00:02:56]
While these wild bedsitter images come back[00:02:59]
To hem me in[00:03:04]
