Lyrics 21 York Street - And Also the Trees

21 York Street

I went to York Street
Saw the house where I was born
And watched the river flow
Under the bridge where
Clocks were turning
Women talking
Dogs were barking
Watched the faces glow
And all the words
Like bubbles rise
Advice and orders
Tender lies the truth
Don’t tell me which way I should go
Outside a butchers shop
I saw a girl who looked a lot
Like someone that I used to know
I recognised expressions
Eyes of boys in men
Forgotten now
Gods knows how many years ago
And as I paused
Deep breathing air
My voice it roared
But wavered only softly
Through the town that I call home
