Walking down Queenstown Road

I come from busy town to unknown world

When it's dark my lonely steps run

like the enthralling evasions of the ingenious mind

At night Battersea Park looks so sensual

When you embrace a tree, will you remember of me?

Like the touch of leaves my hands will be

I will taste you like your bronze ales

like the pastries of the day

I came here to know about love that I had never seen before

I will cover your roads with daisy flowers

and in a night under the moonlit smoke towers

I will teach you how to make love

I will teach you how to make love

I will teach you how to make love

I came here to know about love that I had never seen before

In the shyness of Cringle Street the Goddess is dancing now

Nine Elms Lane brings its desert at her feet

Make silence now on Cringle Street, the Goddess is singing now

On the Thames Battersea is sleeping peacefully

I see the scars on your fairy face

but now the stars will knit a lace

and until I'll be there no one

will ever scorch your bloomy bark

The light will shine again

and brighten your dewy air

The moody times are still too near

but I'm the scarecrow and there's nothing to fear

I came here to know about love that I had never seen before
