Baker Street (Original Demo)

Baker street
Gerry rafferty
Winding your way down on baker street
Lite in your head, and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day, you drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold, its got
So many people but its got no soul
And its taken you so long to find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything.
You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin, you're tryin now
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're cryin', you're cryin now
Way down the street there's a light in his place
You open the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down, it's a quiet little town
And forget about everything
But you know he'll always keep moving
You know he's never gonna stop moving
Cause he's rollin, he's the rolling stone
And when you wake up it's a new morning
The sun is shining it's a new morning
And you're going, you're going home

Baker Street (Démo original)

Baker Street
Gerry Rafferty
Tu descends Baker Street en serpentant
La tête légère, les pieds lourds
Encore une journée folle, tu noies tes peines dans l'alcool
Et tu oublies tout
Ce désert urbain te donne froid, il y a
Tant de gens, mais il n'a pas d'âme
Et il t'a fallu si longtemps pour comprendre que tu t'étais trompé
Quand tu pensais qu'il avait tout.
Tu pensais que c'était si facile
Tu disais que c'était si facile
Mais tu essaies, tu essaies maintenant
Encore un an et tu serais heureux
Juste un an de plus et tu serais heureux
Mais tu pleures, tu pleures maintenant
Au bout de la rue, il y a une lumière chez lui
Tu ouvres la porte, il a ce regard sur son visage
Et il te demande où tu as été, tu lui dis qui tu as vu
Et tu parles de n'importe quoi
Il a ce rêve d'acheter du terrain
Il va arrêter l'alcool et les aventures d'un soir
Et puis il va se calmer, c'est une petite ville tranquille
Et oublier tout
Mais tu sais qu'il ne cessera jamais de bouger
Tu sais qu'il ne cessera jamais de bouger
Parce qu'il roule, il est la pierre qui roule
Et quand tu te réveilles, c'est une nouvelle matinée
Le soleil brille, c'est une nouvelle matinée
Et tu rentres, tu rentres chez toi
