The South Bank of the Thames

Silver shimmer of the serpent's lake

A pride of stallions from the palace gates

Is nothing next to her style and grace

Steps to heaven never come with ease

As I'm lost in whispering galleries

In her eyes of deep blue mystery

Mary fly your frozen lands

Won't you take my rough road weary hand and

Walk with me the south bank of the Thames

And for a moment in this madness a life of loving you forever I'll pretend

Take me to your dungeon keep

In the dark our lonely eyes will meet

I'll steal a kiss from your waiting cheek

We'll travel the world through these market stalls

Eat food we'd never seen before

When you smile at me my heart it thaws

Mary fly your frozen lands

Won't you take my rough road weary hand and

Walk with me the south bank of the Thames

And for a moment in this madness a life of loving you forever I'll pretend

And for a moment in this madness a life of growing old together I'll defend

But when the clock strikes 12 and we're alone

Our hearts a cruelly overthrown

These moments just become song to send

To anyone who's ever kissed you like they knew the world was going to end
