lyrics

Walked the oval of road, round to the green
In heat and in cold and all in between
The children, hand-held-high, tight-roping the wall
None had it in mind we’d age at all

There on the green
There on the green
There we were walking to, playing on the green

We walked through brick and trees to the green
But few can remember the pavement that we’d been
We went early morning within summer sun’s glare
And then – and now also – dusk would find us walking there

I don’t remember that one walk to the green
But I sat on the bank and the scene was a dream
Knowing that for the first time a father I’d be
Just remember thinking everything would change utterly

Walk the oval of road and onto the green
And while we were there your mother would clean
And Hoover and prepare a bland dish for tea
The children ate on folding table in front of the tv
Your father put stickers on jars citing calories
Of the content of each. While we played on the green
And neither them there now, nor the children, not you nor me
We’ve all gone away - that’s the way things turn out to be
