A war torn town along the ancient banks of the River Thames
I was captured by a glance I didn't understand
She lookin' through me there in Battersea

A cold stone pub, I was searching for asylum weary from the road
She whispered that my life was stuck in overload
How did she know there in Battersea?

Then through the night just like two strangers paging through a life gone by
We lived our dreams and read each other minds
We locked silent combat 'till the dawn

For one fearless moment never to repeat itself
For one reckless moment we walked on fire with heaven's help
They call to me, those days and nights there in Battersea

From Wandsworth Bridge we watched the sacred waters rushing to the sea
Could two random hearts find eternity?
It was you and me there in Battersea

Now years from then I am settled safely in the blur of life
My journey takes me back to that one night
And a girl that changed my heart with just one glance

Sometimes the night takes you under its spell
Makes you lose all control
Come out of your shell
(Someday)
I might go back to that magical place
And look for that girl just one more
