London Skies
Cullum Jamie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clear cut and pale on a cold winters day,
Shapes and cool light wander the streets like an army of strays,
On a cold winters Day.
Will you let me romanticize,
The beauty in our London Skies,
You know the sunlight always shines,
Patient moments you chill to the bone under infinite grays,
Vision hindered mist settling low like a ghostly ballet,
On a cold winter's day.
Will you let me romanticize,
The beauty in our London Skies,
You know the sunlight always shines,
Behind the clouds of London Skies.
Nothing is certain except everything you know can change,
You worship the sun but now,
Can you fall for the rain
Will you let me romanticize,
The beauty in our London Skies,
You know the sunlight always shines,
Behind the clouds of London Skies.

Paint a picture,
Create an image,
Clear cut and pale on a cold winters day,
Sharp and light on a chilly winter day,
Shapes and cool light wander the streets like an army of strays,
Forms and cool light move aimlessly like a group of lost animals through the roads,
On a cold winters Day.
During a chilly winter day.
Will you let me romanticize,
Can I express my romantic view,
The beauty in our London Skies,
The attractiveness of the skies of London,
You know the sunlight always shines,
You are aware that the sunlight continuously appears,
Behind the clouds of London Skies.
It is obscured by the clouds of the skies of London.
Patient moments you chill to the bone under infinite grays,
Calming minutes make you shiver underneath countless gray colors,
Vision hindered mist settling low like a ghostly ballet,
Damp air obstructs the view, sinking slowly, resembling a spooky dance performance,
On a cold winter's day.
During a chilly winter day.
Nothing is certain except everything you know can change,
Only one thing is definite, and that is all you understand can alter,
You worship the sun but now,
You adore the sun, but presently,
Can you fall for the rain
Can you also cherish the rain?
Will you let me romanticize,
Can I express my romantic view,
The beauty in our London Skies,
The attractiveness of the skies of London,
You know the sunlight always shines,
You are aware that the sunlight continuously appears,
Behind the clouds of London Skies.
It is obscured by the clouds of the skies of London.

My mom became a huge Cullum fan a few years ago and this song is her favorite that I'll always associate with her everytime I hear it. She passed away a year ago but got the chance to see Jamie in concert in 2006 and said he put on the best live show she ever saw.

almost a year ago i went to london. 4-day-trip. The colours of london and fall are like heaven. It's weird. Every city has it's own heart beating. You can't compare london with paris and Rome, New York with Amsterdam and Rotterdam with Berlin.
