She takes the step, that’ll mean goodbye to home
She knows it’s time to make the break
She’s got a bag with a mirror, brush and comb
That’s all she really needs to take
She’s got to travel light
She’s walking all the way
“London’s not too far”
She’s heard the neighbour say
Her heart just beats like it’s never done before
If someone stops her life, she’ll die
A little prayer as she tumbles with the door
She hopes her mom and dad won’t cry
She planned it all herself
And now she’s on her way
“London’s not too far”
She’s heard the neighbour say
She’s so in love with a man she doesn’t know
She’s only seen him on T.V
But love is strong and it’s calling her to go
To London where he’s sure to be
The door is open now
She’s free to walk away
“London’s not too far”
She’s heard the neighbour say
She looks outside, it’s a wet and windy night
It looks so very dark and cold
She thinks perhaps London’s not so very bright
Especially when you’re five years old
She knows it’s time to make the break
She’s got a bag with a mirror, brush and comb
That’s all she really needs to take
She’s got to travel light
She’s walking all the way
“London’s not too far”
She’s heard the neighbour say
Her heart just beats like it’s never done before
If someone stops her life, she’ll die
A little prayer as she tumbles with the door
She hopes her mom and dad won’t cry
She planned it all herself
And now she’s on her way
“London’s not too far”
She’s heard the neighbour say
She’s so in love with a man she doesn’t know
She’s only seen him on T.V
But love is strong and it’s calling her to go
To London where he’s sure to be
The door is open now
She’s free to walk away
“London’s not too far”
She’s heard the neighbour say
She looks outside, it’s a wet and windy night
It looks so very dark and cold
She thinks perhaps London’s not so very bright
Especially when you’re five years old
