ALPHAVILLE
"London Sky"
(Lyrics: Gold / Music: Gold-Lister)

There are men on the roofs against the grey-white sky
There are men on the roofs and I don't know why
They follow the clouds crossing other people's places
They walk with the wind and they don't leave traces
Men on the roofs, who they are no one knows
Men on the roofs going where no one goes

Ether's line, lag of time
World is gone, northern song
Chimneys write clouds in flight
It's no lie
London sky
Men on the roofs, who they are no one knows
Men on the roofs going where no one goes

Darkest name of the plane
High above war fears dove
Rain forethought, untried chord
Crows go West, home is best
Ether's line, lag of time
World is gone, northern song
Chimneys write clouds in flight
It's no lie
London sky
