Sandy Denny - Gerrard Street Lyrics

Sandy Denny Lyrics

"Gerrard Street"

Chinese people everywhere
Just a step from Leicester Square
Smiling faces wander by

There's a liquor drinker left behind
Sipping gently to get high
Inquiring quietly to the sky

Drunken shadows stumbling by
Hear the strip tout's weary cry
Apathetic girls inhale
A cigarette or file a nail

And all that time I wish that you
Could perhaps have been there
Could perhaps have been there
Could perhaps have been there
Too
