Shelford Road lyrics

I was a child

There were trees, life was mild

We would run in the grass of our own backyard

Mr. Green sold his plums across the street

He would leave a sign

'Please leave 25p in the box'

To the side, what a sight

All the kids passing by

On their cycling bikes

And to school they would ride

I would learn soon

That I would learn too...

Every day around five

A cup of tea to warm inside

It reminded us all

That a friend was close by anytime

Neighbors lending an eye

To ensure you were fine

Love was meant to be kind

I would learn soon

That I would love too...

And as time passes by

Leaving all this behind

Our sweet home now revives

Still in me it resides

And it always will shine

I would learn soon

That I would leave too...
