The chilly, chilly evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station, every Friday night But I am so lazy, don't want to wander, I stay at home at night But I don't feel afraid As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset, I am in paradise Every day I look at the world from my window The chilly, chilly evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine Millions of people swarming like flies round Waterloo underground But Terry and Julie cross over the river where they feel safe and sound And they don't need no friends As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset they are in paradise |
