She takes a step that'll mean good-bye to home
She knows it's time to make the break
She's got her bag with a mirror, brush and comb
That's all she really needs to take
She's got to travel light
She's walking all the way
London's not too far
She's heard the neighbors say
Her heart just beats like it's never done before
If someone stops her now she'll die
A little prayer as she fumbles with the door
She hopes her mom and dad won't cry
She planned it all herself
And now she's on her way
London's not too far
She's heard the neighbors say
She's so in love with a man she doesn't know
She's only seen him on TV
But love is strong and it's calling her to go
To London where he's sure to be
The door is open now
She's free to walk away
London's not too far
She's heard the neighbors say
She looks outside, it's a wet and windy night
It looks so very dark and cold
She thinks perhaps London's not so very bright
Especially when you're five years old

My bird has lost its song
My right has turned to wrong
The dreams I dream mean nothing now
ย
The life I knew before
Has crumbled to the floor
The dreams I dream mean nothing now
ย
It's no use telling me she was a no-good
That she had me hung on a string
'Cause when I was with her she made me feel so good
She loved me and I was her king
She loved me and I was her king
My bird has lost its song
My right has turned to wrong
The dreams I dream mean nothing now
The dreams I dream mean nothing now
ย
Imagine a still summer's day
Where nothing is moving, least of all me
I lay on my back in the hay
The warm sun was soothing
It made me feel good, the day I met Marie
The sound of her whispered hello
Came tiptoeing softly into my head
I opened my eyes kinda slow
And there she was smiling
It made me feel good, the day I met Marie
With her laughing eyes
She'd toss her hair and tantalize
She came to touch me then she'd gone
Just like a summer breeze, yeah
ย
I remember her kiss so soft on my brow
And the way that she said
"Baby, go to sleep now"
"Baby, go to sleep now"
ย
I woke with a chill in the air
The warm sun no longer hung in the sky
I reached out but she was not there
She'd gone where she came from
But I still feel good to think I met Marie
With her laughing eyes
She'd toss her hair and tantalize
She came to touch me then she'd gone
Just like a summer breeze, oh yeah
