Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night?
People so busy, make me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
[Verse 2]
But I don't
Need no friend
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
[Verse 3]
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
(Waterloo sunset's fine)
[Verse 4]
Terry meets Julie, Waterloo station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night
[Verse 5]
But I don't
Feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
[Verse 6]
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
(Waterloo sunset's fine)
[Verse 7]
Millions of people swarming like flies round
Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
[Verse 8]
And they don't
Need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise
[Verse 9]
Waterloo sunset's fine
(Waterloo sunset's fine)
(Waterloo sunset)
