I thought I felt an earthquake
I thought I'd had a stroke
When the city full of people turned to
Shadows made of smoke
Now huddled with my wireless
And an atlas of the earth
I'll wish you all a fond goodbye
For what it may be worth
The bombers have been sighted over Paris
So now it's just a question of how long
And Pittsburgh we'll remember you
And farewell Buenos Aires
And no one's left to see
The fires in Hong Kong
So goodnight London
There goes Salt Lake City
Where my best friend Callie lived
And through the static I can hear
The sendoff in Madrid.
I kissed a girl from Moscow once
But now the Kremlin's ash
So please accept my little blessing song
I'll sing to all the lost as long
As I'm alive; there goes Saigon
In the mercy of the flash
And the bombers have been sighted over Paris
So now it's just a question of how long
And Pittsburgh we'll remember you
And farewell Buenos Aires
And no one's left to see
The fires in Hong Kong
So goodnight London
Goodnight
Goodnight London
Goodnight
And the stars the above explode
Eternal ballet from the black
So maybe this is fitting, that
We dust would light right back
I never got to know Australia
Sorry that I never wrote, Shanghai
Lower the curtain down on Memphis
Snuff out the candle on Mumbai
(Whew)
So goodnight London
Goodnight
Goodnight London
Goodnight
Goodnight London
Goodnight
Goodnight London
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight.
