London's Rose - Douglas Dare

What’s above these walls?

Empty land and empty calls?

Echoes numb through these halls

But lying back can feel it all

Oh it’s quiet down here

Oh it’s quiet down here

Oh it’s quiet down here

Down here

Entire world under the street

Soiled air you cannot breathe

Lines and lines of shoeless feet

One hundred beds under one sheet

Oh it’s hot down here

Oh it’s hot down here

Oh it’s hot down here

Down here

White mosaic hedgerows

With signposts overgrown

Destination unknown

Where’s London’s rose?

Where’s London’s rose?

Oh alive down here

Oh alive down here

Oh alive down here

Down here

Take us back up
