Faded sun arises upon the park, the gates open on another day Birds awaken. breathing dragon trails, a man in overalls worries the weeds away
Around, around, around, around we go Moths circling a candlelight Around, around, around, around Under the big eye
The river rolls The gardens grow And die again Another season And overs throw their hearts away In holloway park
And long ago They roamed the rows In other times Of lords and ladies Who lived and loved Forgotten souls Of holloway park, holloway park
And as the morning warms the joggers step the beat of their heart A dozen mothers with their prams appear The children play, ignore a homeless man who pushes a cart A couple arguing don't care who hears
The river rolls The gardens grow And die again Another season And lovers throw their hearts away In holloway park
And long ago They roamed the rows In other times Of lords and ladies Who lived and loved Forgotten souls Of holloway park
The people descend from the office towers on borrowed time Unwrap their lunches and then run away Growing shadows on the afternoon, they creep to the night School children kiss and smoke in latticed lanes
Everybody here needs comfort Everybody here feels pain And everybody here breathes atmosphere again and again Another day here is over the gates are closing on holloway park
