Bishopstown

Oh life seemed endless, troubles were few That time I was in love with you We walked on Central Avenue Mount Mercy girls all dressed in blue From Wilton Gardens to Halldene And all the parks that lay between When I was king and you were queen Of Bishopstown, of Bishopstown I live in woods without no tree Rows of houses follow me Houses dancing on and on Cherry Grove, Laburnum Lawn The milk of human kindness flows The sweet suburban breezes blow The summer sun shines calmly down On Bishopstown, on Bishopstown I loved a girl from Cedar Park She disappeared into the dark On Cawshay's Lane, I felt the pain At Highfield Park she broke my heart We lit a bonfire in the night Above the quarry blazing bright A shower of stars came raining down On Bishopstown, on Bishopstown Oh life seemed endless, troubles were few That time I was in love with you We walked on Central Avenue Mount Mercy girls all dressed in blue From Wilton Gardens to Halldene And all the parks that lay between When I was king and you were queen Of Bishopstown, of Bishopstown
