lyrics

hanging out in the park
in the afternoon or after dark
dewy summer mornings, frosty winter days

fireworks at the back of the garden at the end of spring
to celebrate the queen
burning down the schoolhouse as the summer's just about to start

call on all the neighbours, grab the bats and gloves
a little pickup football touch turns to shove
tadpoles in the pond and some running birds

once we saw a pheasant, once we saw a fox
when they put in the high-rise had to check our locks
kids would wander past that we'd not seen before

just starting high school met some pretty girls
sitting on a bench with their cares to the world
took them skating at the rink and sometimes walked them home

tracy sat on my lap and i kept her warm
one late november evening and our hearts were torn
she snuck out sometimes and we'd talk until dawn

why's the grass all wet, has it been raining
no, that's just dew
don't want to talk to you
you're always teasing me and think i don't know

the talk with tracy that i miss the most
was the time she told me that she got too close
and she was at my window just the night before

hanging out in the park
in the afternoon or after dark
dewy summer mornings, frosty winter days

During the meanwhilst, please enjoy my current humble offerings.
