Memories of childhood frozen in time
An eastern wasteland now riddled with crime
This inner city district never lacked soul
Now vanished through time into a deep hole
I wish it was like when I was young
Remembering faces, still hearing songs sung
Thriving shops and characters on the vale
Deserted now with cheap houses for sale
Landlords exploiting new arrivals plight
My once streets of play gone, nothing seems right
Sinister figures in shadows selling their wares
Watchful and guarded, even dogs walk in pairs
Be gentle with cherished childhood thoughts of play
Frozen memories could thaw and melt away
Rose tinted worlds should never be explored
A boat to be cared for, but always moored
