Chapel Avenue

Skateboards and lemonade stands
4Th of July parade bands
Creature feature matinees
High dive - I double dare you
Hormones enough to scare you
Day dreaming summer time away
All the gold of yesterday
Is a debt I can't repair
I owe it all to you
Chapel Ave

Hippies, hobos, ghosts and goblins
Dracula, Batman and Robin
All dressed up for Beggars' Night
Sissy bars, banana seats
Popping wheelies down our street
Time flies sometime at the speed of light
All the gold of yesterday
Is a debt I can't repair
I owe it all to you
Chapel Ave

(They cut down the lilac bush
Planted a pine tree
It'll never grow
What became of that old green chair
I had a fort behind years ago
Years ago - where did they go?)
Goodbye familiar faces
Treehouses, hiding places
The stars at night, the hills we climbed
Childhood artifacts

Green fields and cul de sacs
Theses are the things I leave behind
All the gold of yesterday
Is a debt I can't repair
I owe it all to you
I do
Chapel Ave
