As The Sun Sets On The City

London sits in metal glow

Reflection glinting too and fro

People meander as they go

As the sun sets on the city

Parks are packed full of life

Children screaming on their bikes

Soaking up the hours of light

As the sun sets on the city

Pubs filled with football fans

Planes above about to land

Friends talking, making plans

As the sun sets on the city

London moves to a different beat

Rhythm slows in searing heat

A couple’s lips begin to meet

As the sun sets on the city

People basking on the ground

Love and laughter all around

The horizon wears a golden crown

As the sun sets on the city
