about

1969. Home recording (1970) with Mum on piano; from the album First Take 2019.

lyrics

I wander down the high street where I have been before,
Past the war memorial and Mrs Robert's store,
And the road is like a rainbow in the neon bands of rain;
From leaning on my window cill things are much the same
As they have always been.

I see you every morning on my way from home
And you always turn your head away when I stop to say hello;
And the street is bare and empty and the sky hangs low in shame,
From seeing you go by things are not the same
As they have always been.

An ocean lies between us now my ship has run aground,
I wander down the street again another day goes round;
And the square is full of people dancing in the rain,
From standing in their shadows things are just the same
As they have always been.

Dave Atkinson Chester, UK

I have been writing songs since 1967 when I was 17 and since I have accumulated over 440. Early influences were Dylan, Cohen, Jackson Browne Joni Mitchell, Kristofferson. Though never 'successful' in any conventional sense, my songs and guitar have led many sing-rounds and a couple of 1970's albums sell for £100s as 'rare vinyl'. Above all, it has been a happy adventure. www.atkinsongs.co.uk ... more
