C (2 bars Instrumental)

Mayfair stretching far above

Full of fame but lacking love

Could it be we see the Mayfair moon?

Mayfair strange across the park

In the day or in the dark

There's no need to walk or even run

Mayfair faces clean and nice

But beauty here is cold as ice

Could it be we see the Mayfair sun?

C (changing bass)

[For every line play these two bars.]

Mayfair strange at every hour

Hidden frowns with mystic power

Starry heights and golden thrown

Down below you're on your own

[Theme one:]

Mayfair strange for passers by

Sights of wonder for the eye

Could it be that they'll pass by again?

Mayfair calling far and near

For even trees are wealthy here

Could it be we hear the Mayfair rain?
