Lyrics

Until you tell me not to

All but a silhouette of a woman’s name who I forget
Standing by the banks of the Thames
The people pass her by but nobody stops to ask her why
She’s been there for hours

We’re all too busy to see
Just how lonely one person can be

And then she walks into the cold and dirty water
With her coat done up, handbag by her side
I wondered if she had a family or a friend,
Or maybe God, in whom she could confide

We never mean to let go
We just simply slip below

And be it for that passer-by there’d be no hand to hold
I’ll stay until you tell me not to, I don’t mind the cold

Time travels too soon
But the sun always follows the moon
