In the City

[Verse 1] For even one minute, will you please stand still? Stand like a statue there In Trafalgar Square They'll capture the moment in a photograph Taken out of focus Of the cenotaph They don't really know What it's all about They don't really know What it's all about You were two million miles away When I tried to talk to you, what was I to say? You were two million miles from here When I tried to get to you, to whisper in your ear [Verse 2] For even one moment, can I get to keep you? Can I wrap you up and take you home? They'll capture the magic in a bubble glass They'll shake the snowflakes up, then let the magic pass They don't really know What it's all about They don't really know What it's all about They were two million miles from here When they tried to talk to you, to whisper in your ear They were two million miles from home When they tried to get to you, to say you're not alone [Outro] From the rooftops, high above the city To the tower blocks, towering over West Key I'll show you things that you might never have seen Day and night In the city [Instrumental] [Outro] For even one minute, can you please stand still? Stand like a statue there In Trafalgar Square Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
