Baker Street Lyrics - Singles - Garry Rafferty

Winding your way down on Baker Street 

Light in your head and dead on your feet 

Well another crazy day, you'll drink the night away 

And forget about everything. 

This city desert makes you feel so cold 

It's got so many people but it's got no soul 

And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong 

When you thought it held everything. 

You used to think that it was so easy, 

You used to say that it was so easy 

But you're tryin', you're tryin' now. 

Another year and then you'd be happy 

Just one more year and then you'd be happy 

But you're cryin', you're cryin' now. 

Way down the street there's a light in his place 

He opens the door, he's got that look on his face 

And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen 

And you talk about anything. 

He's got this dream about buyin' some land 

He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands 

And then he'll settle down, it's a quiet little town 

And forget about everything. 

But you know he'll always keep movin' 

You know he's never gonna stop movin' 

Cause he's rollin', he's the rollin' stone. 

And when you wake up it's a new morning 

The sun is shining, it's a new morning 

But you're going, you're going home
