London Town

James Taylor

I do believe

I must believe

I think I can begin again

Become again the man I was back when

So I'm walking on your streets again

Feeling now as I did then

I've since become a different man

London Town, turn be around

London Town, carry me back

O London Town, lost and found

And I feel like going back

I can remember lots of time and space

If I lose the name, still I know the faces

Time as come and left its traces

London Town, turn be around

London Town, carry me back

O London Town, lost and found

And I feel like going back

When I grew too old and dull to rock 'n roll

Like to hold on tight to you darling

And when my fires have all burned out

I'd like to think I can still think about

The things I used to sing about

When I was spending all my time alone

By myself and on my own

Seldom seen and quite unknown

London Town, turn be around

London Town, carry me back

O London Town, lost and found

And I feel like going back
