Lyrics
These are the streets I used to walk
Reflecting on the familiar streets of the past.
On summer nights, sit out and talk
Recalling conversations on summer nights.
That's the house where I used to live
Pointing out the previous residence.
I remember what I would give.
Expressing nostalgia and the value placed on memories.
This is the town I won't forget
Acknowledging a town with lasting significance.
And after anger there's nothing left
Highlighting the aftermath of anger.
Walking now round and round
Describing a repetitive, circular walking pattern.
Familiar sights are open ground.
Noting the unchanged, familiar surroundings.
Being here again
Returning to a place and remembering the past.
I can recall
Recollection of experiences in the location.
Forgotten moments
Remembering moments that were previously forgotten.
The rise and fall.
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of life, symbolized by the rise and fall.
We used to live where children play
Describing a previous residence in an area where children play.
They leave their homes a mile away
Noting the distance children travel to play in the mentioned area.
To come and stand in trees and grass
Reflecting on shared memories in nature.
Where we once walked the memories last.
Highlighting the enduring nature of memories.
Being here again
Repeating the theme of returning to a place from the past.
I can recall
Continuing to recall past experiences in the location.
Forgotten moments
Emphasizing the retrieval of forgotten memories.
The rise and fall.
Reiterating the cyclical theme of the rise and fall of life.
The sun shines east, the sun shines west
Using the direction of the sun to convey personal preference.
But I know where the sun shines best
Expressing a preference for a specific location (Casey street).
Casey street in the afternoon
Setting a specific time for a significant location.
Once again it's over too soon.
Expressing the fleeting nature of enjoyable moments.
Being here again
Repeating the experience of returning to a meaningful place.
I can recall
Recalling and reflecting on past moments in the mentioned location.
Forgotten moments
Stressing the importance of memories once forgotten.
The rise and fall.
Reiterating the cyclical theme of the rise and fall of life.
Being here again
