lyrics
I remember Walker Avenue Paddington
Old stone fences and wrought iron lined the way
My grandparents lived in number 14
Just down the road was Jackie Dean
Old man Fred was right next door
Seemed like he'd been there forever
I was just skinny kid in shorts and T shirt
Me and my friend Wayne would play all day
We'd climb the tree in Trumper Park
Talk the dreams right up till dark
The sky would go red over White City
And we'd run home for dinner
I would catch the smell of cookin' at the front door
The women of the house would set our meal
I would whisper in my fathers ear
Can I have a sip of beer?
He would smile and turn his head my way
It was a real life
It was a great life
There was plain and simple happiness around
And the trees on Walker Avenue
Would drop their leaves and talk to you
And tell the tales of days gone by
I remember the sandstone doorstep at the local
I would sit outside and drink my lemonade
I could smell the beer and hear the sounds
Of the barmaids as they poured the rounds
The door would open and I'd see inside
To a world that was so grown up
I never felt alone on those hot Sundays
I had my tennis ball to make my day
Dad would put his head outside and wink
You OK boy, you need a drink?
I would bounce my ball and say I'm OK
It was a real life
It was a great life
There was plain and simple happiness around
And the trees on Walker Avenue
Would spread their leaves and shelter you
And tell the tales of days gone by
So many things have changed on Walker Avenue
All the folks have died or moved away
The stone is new and the fences are high
The place is different and I hear it sigh
For a time when neighbours shared a laugh
And life was simple
It was a real life
It was a great life
There was plain and simple happiness around
And the trees on Walker Avenue
Have been replaced with something new
And with them went their tales of days gone by...
