Looking back through all these years
With the smoked filled skies and a young boys fears
Familiar faces pass me by
In this small town no wonder why
Say goodbye to mam and dad
Watch the train depart but they don't feel sad
Tears come streaming down her face
That she held back till I was out of trace
But I'll come back to the place I love and know so well
To walk my dog up fairy dell
And we don't need time
Cos everything just seems the same
No endless streets with messed up names
Round the back of London Town
Everything's alright when I'm around
Birthdays, Christmas, Halloween
I'll show up then remain unseen
Say goodbye to mam and dad
Watch the train depart but they don't feel sad
Tears come streaming down her face
That she held back till I was out of trace
But I'll come back to the place I love and know so well
To walk my dog up fairy dell
And we don't need time
Cos everything just seems the same
No endless streets with messed up names
But I'll come back to the place I love and know so well
To walk my dog up fairy dell
