Jimi Jamison - Battersea lyrics

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
