Lyrics In Gunnersbury Park - The Hit Parade

In Gunnersbury Park

So the leaves
Touch the ground
Of a bowling green in Acton
It’s a place where my feet know which way to go
You can hear
The trees sigh
As they watch the lovers pass them
If my hands could reach you know
I would not let go
Because in Gunnersbury Park nothing changes
No, nothing changes my old moods
In Gunnersbury Park I’m still waiting
I’m waiting here
For you
These are sacred remains
Near the pond and the icecream shop
But no one else knows what secrets we buried here
And your flat
Is nearby
I still take the lift up five flights
If I stood and whispered your name
Would you hear
Because in Gunnersbury Park nothing changes
No, nothing changes my old moods
In Gunnersbury Park I’m still waiting
I’m waiting here
For you
I don’t care if it’s cold
If it rains
If it gets dark
I’ll be waiting for you
Come back and hold me
Closer to you
But they took you away
With your … and your t-shirts
And you know now sweetheart somehow things aren’t the same
But I’m still going back
To the tennis courts near Ealing
And the sun is out so I don’t mind the wait
Because in Gunnersbury Park nothing changes
No, nothing changes my old moods
In Gunnersbury Park I’m still waiting
I’m waiting here
For you
I’m waiting here
For you
