Mayfair (Cambridge Demo)
[Verse 1]
Mayfair strange in the morning light
Mayfair strange in the summer night
Mayfair strangest in the afternoon
[Verse 2]
Mayfair stretching far above
Full of fame but lacking love
Could it be we see the Mayfair moon?
[Verse 3]
Mayfair strange across the park
In the day or in the dark
There's no need to walk or even run
[Verse 4]
Mayfair faces clean and nice
But beauty here is cold as ice
Could it be we see the Mayfair sun?
[Verse 5]
Mayfair strange at every hour
Hidden frowns with mystic power
Starry heights and golden throne
Down below you're on your own
[Verse 6]
Mayfair strange for passers-by
Sights of wonder for the eye
Could it be that they'll pass by again?
[Verse 7]
Mayfair calling far and near
For even trees are wealthy here
Could it be we hear the Mayfair rain?
[Verse 1]
Mayfair strange in the morning light
Mayfair strange in the summer night
Mayfair strangest in the afternoon
[Verse 2]
Mayfair stretching far above
Full of fame but lacking love
Could it be we see the Mayfair moon?
