STANLEY ROAD - Paul Weller Lyrics

A hazy mist hung down the street

The length of it's mile -

 As far as my eye could see

The sky so wide, the houses tall

Or so they seemed to be,

So they seemed to me so small,

And it gleamed in the distance

And it shone like the sun -

 Like silver & gold - it went on & on.

The summer nights that seemed so long

Always call me back to return -

 As I re-write this song

The ghosts of night, the dreams of day

Make me swirl & fall & hold me in their sway -

 And it's still in the distance

 And it shines like the sun -

 Like silver & gold - it goes on & on.

The rolling stock rocked me to sleep -

Amber lights flashing 'cross the street

And on the corner.....a dream to meet -

 going on & on.

 On & on,

 On & on..........
