Sunset By The Thames lyrics

They stood upon the bridge and he held her hand tight The sunset by the thames was such a beautiful sight The rooftops over london seemed to glow in the light And the night was calling Seventeen and the world at their feet They laughed along the river to piccadilly She hoped that maybe someday he'd go down on one knee And she squeezed him tightly They talked about the future as he walked her back home The night's young lovers don't notice the cold He kissed her on the lips and turned back to the road He felt warm inside He cut across the park and someone asked for a light He stepped into the shadows but met with a knife They came to take his wallet but they left with his life And they never thought twice She stood upon the bridge and she crossed her arms tight The sunset by the thames didn't look quite so bright She got to be a widow before being a bride And that can't be right
