- LATHAM AVENUE
-
- Someone told him
Every night she
Took the same roads home
Walked with friends to
Latham Avenue
Then on alone
And oh this was the only opportunity he knew
This was the time, but most of all
This was the girl he knew
1992
Latham Avenue
-
- By the bus stop
Near the shop, she
Trips and drops here things
Looking up he
Sees the opportunity this brings
They sit and talk of nothing that means anything at all
On the street sign by the wall
Both their names they drew
1992
Latham Avenue
-
- And he came through the door
and sat in the hall
On the chair that was just meant for show
And he stared at the floor, with his mind rewinding
The moment she told him that yes, shed go
-
- Ten years later
Walking home, she trips and drops her things
Looking round, he
Frowns at the attention that this brings
They walk
And talk of nothing that means anything at all
Not noticing the street sign
And all the things they drew
in 1992
On Latham Avenue
