Old Town by Christopher Joseph Wallace published on 2021-06-11T11:02:20Z We never really leave the places we grow up in, despite them changing beyond all recognition, or we physically move far away, they stay with us always. Written July 1993. Old Town Everybody knows an old town, A place where they can Put your feet down, Everybody knows where they belong, Familiar calls you, A bond so strong, Home sweet home. On the places long since pulled down, Giant hoardings stand On waste ground, Red brick houses turn to dusty air, In the heart they’re always there, They’ve gone nowhere. Oh old town Here I’ve grown, Never leave you All I’ve known, Old town. Names remain where shapes have changed, The scar of carriageways Over twisting lanes, And when all the changes come, I’ll imagine the harm undone, So let them come.
