Bedsitter Images (2007 Remaster) - Al Stewart
Written by：Al Stewart
The subway station's closed again
Sleeps beneath it's veil of rain
My footprints
Broken trail behind
Steals the nightlights
From my mind
The dark deserted streets then clear
Today has lived and died in here
So I leave the chapel gloom
To find the shelter of my tiny room
But it's alright
While the lights
Of the city shine so bright
It's all
Right till the last
Winding train fades from sight
Then alone in my room
I must stay to lose or win
While these wild bedsitter images come back
To hem me in
The panneled patterns on the door
Chase shivering shadows
To the floor
Upon the pillow
Worn and thin
The memories of hopes begin
The carpet
With it's flowers and shredding
Spires a foot before my bed
The crack that won't return again
Advancing
Through my broken window pane
But it's alright
While the lights
Of the city shine so bright
It's all
Right till the last winding train fades from sight
Then alone in my room
I must stay to lose or win
While these wild bedsitter images come back
To hem me in
The friends I've left back home all write
With laughing words that warm my sight
Saying
Tell us
How's the city life
I reply
And say just fine why
And so you see I can't go back
'Til I either win or crack
I'm standing
In a one way street
The stage is set
The story incomplete
But it's alright
While the lights
Of the city shine so bright
It's all
Right till the last winding train fades from sight
Then alone in my room
I must stay to lose or win
While these wild bedsitter images come back
To hem me in
