Jamaica Road

Putney Bridge, asleep in your pram Eyes are wide, memory like sand Life's ahead, no fear, envy or dread Filled with innocence, soon to be lost Through my eyes, your mind comes alive You through my window, now what have you seen I see joy, I see laughter, I hear cries, I hear screams People in doorways, in bad ways, but always Through me you'll live on, even when you're gone Tower Bridge, I see you've lost your way Life's been hard, taken love away Alone you sit, wondering where it went wrong And my heart breaks, I hope you keep pushing on Through my eyes, your mind comes alive You through my window, now what have you seen? I see joy, I see laughter, I hear cries, I hear screams People in doorways, in bad ways, but always Through me you'll live on, even when you're gone The streets are alive, people tryna get by Just like me and you, wonder what they've been through Jamaica road, the last stop on my trip Your face is weathered, your flag cap and your stick Life's been hard, so many have passed But a life well lived, is not one without scars
