Verse 1
Fog curls off the Thames like a secret never told.
Under gaslight the cobblestones keep every cold.
Footsteps echo in the half-lit shadow of the bridge.
A weathered coat, a distant laugh — the city holds its ridge.
Chorus
Oh gloomy London, keep your rain and keep your names.
Whispered sirens, neon ghosts and window frames.
I walk your alleys with a small, stubborn light;
In gloomy London I learn to stay the night.
Verse 2
Steam from the pavement rises like a slow, old song.
Shopfront angels blink as midnight walks along.
A carriage sighs, a skyline drawn in muted chrome.
We trade our faces here and call this shadow home.
Chorus
Oh gloomy London, keep your rain and keep your names.
Whispered sirens, neon ghosts and window frames.
I walk your alleys with a small, stubborn light;
In gloomy London I learn to stay the night.
