Kings Road Ghosts |
I drove my car along the old bus route to my parents house today |
And on the way I saw the places I once loved begin to fade |
The recreation ground I knew so well have been replaced |
With worn out football pitches and tennis courts and empty space |
I miss the days I used to know I had a place |
And all the friends I thought I loved weren’t far way |
Before I lost my way, and these streets still knew my name |
I miss the days when I knew I had a place, a place in everything |
Now there’s ghosts in the eyes of the checkout girls and the boys who run the |
bars |
Who 5 years ago were aspiring artists or poets with guitars |
We wore our hearts so far down our sleeves that we lost them day to day |
But this place isn’t the same you see, and these streets don’t feel like home |
to me |
I miss the days I used to know I had a place |
And all the friends I thought I loved weren’t far way |
Before I lost my way, and these streets still knew my name |
I miss the days when I knew I had a place, a place in everything |
I parked the car and made my way down, closer to the sea |
I inhaled the summer breeze and I felt free |
I forgot how much I missed the way, the sun lit up the east coast bays |
And made the north sea come alive |
And at night we’d pass the lighthouse by on the way to drown ourselves in |
illegal wine |
And we’d stay awake until the morning cars went by |
With nothing but bus fare and a smile |
I couldn’t help but smile |
