In the shade of the Carnaby Street lights

Stuck waiting for a taxi
on the other side of the world
with the pearly shades of heaven
still drifting down from wherever

I rolled back in slow time
to a land far flung away
and a kiss that tasted divine
from lips tonic coated sublime

the shops were all boarded up
chill rain came down like a waterfall
we held each other stubbornly tight
in the shade of the Carnaby Street lights
