Lyrics Paul Weller

Paul Weller

Stanley Road

A hazy mist hung down the street

The length of it's mile as far as my eye could see

The sky so wide, the houses tall

Or so they seemed to be so they seemed to me so small

And it gleamed in the distance

And it shone like the sun

Like silver and gold

It went on and on it went on and on

Summer nights that seemed so long

Always call me back to return as I rewrite this song

The ghosts of night, the dreams of day

Make me swirl and fall and hold me in this way

And it's still in the distance

And it shines like the sun

Like silver and gold

It goes on and on, it goes on and on

It goes on and on, it goes on and on

Rolling stock rocked me to sleep

Amber lights flashing 'cross the street

And on the corner a dream to meet

Going on and on

Rolling stock rocked me to sleep

Amber lights flashing 'cross the street

And on the corner a dream to meet

It goes on and on, going on and on

It goes on and on, it goes on and on

Yeah on and on
