North Parade

(Album: Butterfly House - 2010)

People come
And people go
On the North Parade

Painting pictures
Of paradise
At the penny arcade

But as the arcade penny claw
Comes a rapping
To my door

On the North Parade
They've all gone away
On the North Parade
Deserted again

A lamp it flickers
Behind the blind
At the end of the day

A stranger looks out
To the cove
From the passage way

But as the arcade penny claw
Comes a rapping
To my door

On the North Parade
They've all gone away
On the North Parade
Deserted again

There's a boy
That can't go home
He walks out here alone

On the North Parade
They've all gone away
On the North Parade
The World seems so strange
