The Camera Eye Full Lyrics
[03:38.39] Grim faced and forbidding, their faces closed tight
[03:42.10] An angular mass of New Yorkers
[03:46.76] Pacing in rhythm, race the oncoming night
[03:50.45] They chase through the streets of Manhattan
[03:55.11] Head first humanity, pause at a light
[03:58.73] Then flow through the streets of the city
[04:03.91]
[04:43.06] They seem oblivious to a soft spring rain
[04:49.06] Like an English rain
[04:53.86] So light, yet endless
[04:57.20] From a leaden sky
[05:02.59]
[05:17.57] The buildings are lost in their limitless rise
[05:23.21] My feet catch the pulse and the purposeful stride
[05:28.75]
[05:39.79] I feel the sense of possibilities
[05:45.66] I feel the wrench of hard realities
[05:53.78] The focus is sharp in the city
[06:00.82]
[07:30.08] Wide angle watcher on life's ancient tales
[07:33.82] Steeped in the history of London
[07:38.22] Green and grey washes in a wispy white veil
[07:42.37] Mist in the streets of Westminster
[07:46.76] Wistful and weathered, the pride still prevails
[07:50.34] Alive in the streets of the city
[07:55.52]
[08:32.17] Are they oblivious to this quality?
[08:38.61] A quality
[08:43.17] Of light unique to
[08:46.28] Every city's streets
[08:51.82]
[08:55.06] ("'Ello!")
[08:56.75] ("Morning, guv.")
[09:06.63] Pavements may teem with intense energy
[09:11.84] But the city is calm in this violent sea
[09:16.99]
[10:03.31] I feel the sense of possibilities
[10:09.19] I feel the wrench of hard realities
[10:17.14] The focus is sharp in the city
[10:23.08]
