Do you remember summer days
Just after summer rain
When all the air was damp and warm
In the green of country lanes?
And the breeze would touch your hair
Kiss your face and make you care
About your world
Your summer world
And we would count the evening stars
As the day grew dark
In Beechwood Park
Do you remember golden days and golden summer sun
The sound of laughter in our ears
In the breeze as we would run?
And the breeze would touch your hair
Kiss your face and make you care
About your world
Your summer world
And we would count the evening stars
As the day grew dark
In Beechwood Park
Oh roads in my mind
Take me back in my mind
And I can't forget you
Won't forget you
Won't forget those days
And Beechwood Park
And the breeze would touch your hair
Kiss your face and make you care
About your world
Your summer world
And we would count the evening stars
As the day grew dark
In Beechwood Park
Oh roads in my mind
Take me back in my mind
And I can't forget you
Won't forget you
Won't forget those days
And Beechwood Park

Sit back easy, in nature’s chair
The moles black out in this common land
The countryside is a sea of turf
But they’re all deaf hills to my one command
Lend a claw to this bastion of despair
Scratch away the verdigris
I’m not you but you’re still me
Signpost-less in corridor country
To dream-cast Europe the writer came
A diamond mine in his osprey quill
When thirty interveners called
He sat back easy but he couldn’t sit still
Its a steady death keeping us all in black
Our company loves misery
I’m not you but you’re still me
More or less in corridor country
A twice told tale won’t fail to have the ring of truth
It earned its own nobility
It follows you but will not me
A natural maze this corridor country
