Maida Vale Light

Verse 1

Gentle rowing

Swaying slow

Water moving under the keel

Quiet path for us to steal

Roar of the traffic begins to fade

Resting under the willow shade

Pre-Chorus

No salt spray

No foam

Weary heart

Coming home

Chorus

Row steady row

Row steady row

Through the Maida Vale light

In green and in white

Sing for the end of the day

Sing as we drift away

Verse 2

Wooden gates

Lock and key

Laughing children run along the side

Deep inside the London tide

Passing the villas of bone and stone

Leaving the crowded streets alone

Pre-Chorus

Watch the ripples

Go past

Hold this moment

Make it last

Chorus

Row steady row

Row steady row

Through the Maida Vale light

In green and in white

Sing for the end of the day

Sing as we drift away

Bridge

Under the heavy grey sky

The ripples never lie

Whispering names

Without any fame

Chorus

Row steady row

Row steady row

Through the Maida Vale light

In green and in white

Sing for the end of the day

Sing as we drift away
