[Verse 1]

All the madness in the mirror

The tremblin' and the tears

It takes a long time comin' out

It's comin' outta here

I've been wanderin' your London town

And it's wearin' out my shoes

It's a long road comin' down

Comin' down with the blues


[Chorus]

But when you hold me and really

Make love to me

I know that love is

True forgiveness

Time on my mind is time spent with you

But it's time that I can't find

With the Notting Hill blues


[Verse 2]

Lovers pass me on the gate

Like distant cousins removed

Holdin' hands and it seems like an act of fate

And I'm almost moved

But love has left me standin' still

With no direction and no clues

No speech to let my feelings loose

A celebration of the blues


[Chorus]

Hold me and really

Make love to me

And I know that love is

True forgiveness

Out on the road I was down with the crew

Now I'm all alone, on the run

With the Notting Hill blues


[Bridge]

And it's a lonely, lonely, lonely time

Sadness preys upon my mind

A telephone and a bottle of booze

But who do you call when you're tongue tied tight?

Up all night


[Guitar Solo]


[Chorus]

Hold me, really

Make love to me

And I know your love is

True, oh yeah, yeah

Time on my mind is time spent with you

But you don't find time

With the Notting Hill blues

With the Notting Hill blues

The Notting Hill blues

Notting Hill blues
