Lyrics
Verse
They say it’s just a river,
That tides and tourists flow,
But I still feel them standing here,
From all those years ago.
Terry and Julie, hand in hand,
Now dust beneath the trees —
But echoes linger by the rail,
Above the silver Thames breeze.
Verse
We catch the light on concrete,
The shimmer through the mist,
The skyline’s full of glass and steel,
But nothing feels amiss.
We laugh where they once lingered,
Where vinyl dreams were spun,
And though the world is louder now,
We’re still the quiet ones.
Chorus
Waterloo sunrise, soft on the stone,
London awakening, never alone.
The ghosts of their Friday still walk by our side,
Their love in our laughter, the city our guide.
Verse
There’s music in the traffic,
And poetry in grime,
The bridge that held their fragile hopes
Still holds the weight of time.
We sip our overpriced coffees,
And watch the morning glow,
With playlists full of memory
And hearts that still say "go".
Bridge
No longer scared of Fridays,
No factory bell at four —
Just freedom in the waking day,
And shoes that still want more.
Chorus
Waterloo sunrise, soft on the stone,
London awakening, never alone.
The ghosts of their Friday still walk by our side,
Their love in our laughter, the city our guide.
