lyrics

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
