In Gunnersbury Park - The Hit Parade

So the leaves

Touch the ground

Of a bowling green in Acton

It’s a place where my feet know which way to go

You can hear

The trees sigh

As they watch the lovers pass them

If my hands could reach you know

I would not let go

Because in Gunnersbury Park nothing changes

No, nothing changes my old moods

In Gunnersbury Park I’m still waiting

I’m waiting here

For you

These are sacred remains

Near the pond and the icecream shop

But no one else knows what secrets we buried here

And your flat

Is nearby

I still take the lift up five flights

If I stood and whispered your name

Would you hear

Because in Gunnersbury Park nothing changes

No, nothing changes my old moods

In Gunnersbury Park I’m still waiting

I’m waiting here

For you

I don’t care if it’s cold

If it rains

If it gets dark

I’ll be waiting for you

Come back and hold me

Closer to you

But they took you away

With your … and your t-shirts

And you know now sweetheart somehow things aren’t the same

But I’m still going back

To the tennis courts near Ealing

And the sun is out so I don’t mind the wait

Because in Gunnersbury Park nothing changes

No, nothing changes my old moods

In Gunnersbury Park I’m still waiting

I’m waiting here

For you

I’m waiting here

For you
