In London there's a place where I've been waiting round for days
In a most peculiar way
By the thoroughfare
And I think about your face as I went about that day
Without very much to say
To the ocean air
And I don't think that I'll be going back there
If you need me I'm by the thoroughfare
If all the hopes and dreams I had are still there in the sand
And they slipped right through my hands
And were washed ashore
Now the tide is coming in
They'll be back someday
Will I see you there my friend
By the palisades
And I don't think that I'll be going back there
If you need me I'm by the thoroughfare
I don't think that I'll be going back there
If you need me I'm by the thoroughfare
If you need me I'm by the thoroughfare
If you need me I'm by the thoroughfare
