Jeff Lynne - Last Train To London lyrics

It was 9-29, 9-29 back street big city.

The sun was going down, there was music all around

It felt so right.

It was one of those nights, one of those nights when you feel the world stop turnin'

You were standing there, there was music in the air,

I should have been away, but I knew I'd have to stay.

CHORUS

Last train to London, just headin' out,

Last train to London, just leavin' town.

But I really want tonight to last forever

I really wanna be with you.

Let the music play on down the line tonight.

It was one of those nights, one of those nights when you feel the fire is burnin'

Everybody was there, everybody to share

It felt so right.

There you were on your own, lookin' like you were the only one around

I had to be with you, nothin' else that I could do,

I should have been away, but I knew I'd have to stay.

Repeat Chorus

Underneath a starry sky, time was still but hours must really have rushed by

I didn't realize, but love was in your eyes,

I really should have gone, but love went on and on...

Repeat Chorus
