Leaving London lyrics

LEAVING LONDON
(Tom Paxton)

With a dark and rolling sea
Between my love and me
I keep walking thru this cold hard town
While i wait for better days
I could use a place to stay
Or a floor where I could lay my blanket down

If I could beg, steal, or borrow
A ticket on some boat or plane
I`d be leaving London tomorrow
To fly to my young love again

Up at dawn to change my shirt
And to wash away the dirt
Then it`s over to American Express
Not one letter did I find
No, she didn`t send one line
Though I know she had my forwarding address

Last night the Troubadour
Was so full they barred the door
And I sang a song she knows quite well
But it wouldn`t take too long
To make up another song
For a lonesome and a last farewell
