Gerry Rafferty Baker Street Lyrics:
[Instrumental intro featuring Raphael Ravenscroft on saxophone.]

Windin' your way down on Baker Street,
Light in your head and dead on your feet.
Well, another crazy day,
You'll drink the night away,
And forget about everything.

This city desert makes you feel so cold,
It's got so many people but it's got no soul.
And it's taken you so long,
To find out you were wrong,
And 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'll be happy.
Just one more year and then you'll be happy.
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now.

[Instrumental break featuring saxophone.]

Way down the street there's a light in his place,
He opens the door,
He's got that look on his face.
And he asks where you've been,
You tell him who you've seen,
And you talk about anything.

He's got this dream,
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/Wc ]
About buyin' some land,
He's gonna give up the booze,
And the one night stands.
And then he'll settle down,
In this quiet little town,
And forget about everything.

But you know he'll always keep movin'.
You know he's never gonna stop movin'.
'Cause he's rollin', he's the rollin' stone.
When you wake up it's a new mornin'.
The sun is shinin', it's a new mornin'.
You're goin', you're goin' home.

[Instrumental to end showcasing each instrument.]
