Does anyone else think the lyric change could be as she said ' I don't believe in the devil,' so not heaven or hell either?

Just a thought.

And I also like the 'Earth will turn' more, i think it created more imagery..

London lyrics (as of 6-19-2010, the Nashville Pride performance)
-------------------------------


Waste away the days
Waiting on a new age
But time betrays me
And I get older one more year

Walk London's windy streets
Go anywhere but home
'Cause I'm looking for the secrets
That only cobble stones hold
Only the cobble stones know

And I've never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come

You've got a knife-throwing kind of love
But your silence cuts the deepest
And I know I've made a mess of things
And I'm sorry for all that
Wish we could get the time back

Because I've never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come
Wait for it
Wait for it

Now I'm staring at the sun
As if there's a riddle I'm not in on
'Cause the wolves howl to the Moon
And she never answers back
No, she never answers back

And after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never -- never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come, oh

Waste away the days
Waiting on a new age

As if there's a riddle I'm gnawing on

Maybe it's just me, but I thought she was singing:

As if there's a riddle I'm not in on

The song may be over, but the music never ends.

Me too! The recording from the 2009 Milford Festival makes me get into a transe, no doubt it's my fave Nessa song all-time.

It's the best one we have, but I'm pretty sure that the actual version from the record will be more beautiful.

Every time there's a new version of this song posted I always hope to myself that she changed the words "heavenly creatures" to something different. I've just never much cared for it. It just doesn't flow very well in my opinion... I keep hoping it'll grow on me but it still hasn't! Perhaps the studio version will be better. :3

I don't think she'll be changing that part any time soon. In my opinion, it is what makes "London" as it is. The "heavenly creatures" is, in my opinion, a very creative thing to insert in a song.
