lyrics

Lyn walks Chalkie in the park,
a chilly rain comes drifting down.
Six o'clock,
Autumn night in Chapeltown.

Lamplight gleams on red brick walls,
at Asap Stores Amina stops for
pick and mix
and checks the ad for PayDay Loans.

Della kicks an empty can down Hilton Road.

And at the corner by the church
at the back of Shepherd's Lane
Levi nods and high-faves Shane.

Six o'clock.

The terraced city shelves and stacks
its schools and banks and back-to-backs.
Della checks her phone.

Lyn calls Chalky, heads for home.
