Lyrics
[verse]
The barber sweeps his corner of the block,
Waves at the bus that skips the stop,
The nurse in white counts change at the stand,
Selling paper flowers with a steady hand.
[chorus]
Down on Maple Corner, where I grew,
Every face is one I used to know,
Rain or shine the same old scene,
Playing on forever in between.
[verse]
The fireman keeps a photograph of rain,
The banker whistles through the windowpane,
Kids on bicycles chase the ice cream bell,
And time stands still there, I can tell.
[chorus]
Down on Maple Corner, where I grew,
Every face is one I used to know,
Rain or shine the same old scene,
Playing on forever in between.
[bridge]
Underneath that clock tower, blue and clear,
All the ordinary things I hold so dear,
A postcard town that never fades,
Painted bright in gold and jade.
[chorus]
Down on Maple Corner, where I grew,
Every face is one I used to know,
Rain or shine the same old scene,
Playing on forever in between.
