Rise And Fall Lyrics

These are the streets I used to walk
On summer nights sit out and talk
That’s the house where I used to live
I remember what I would give

This is the town I won’t forget
And after anger there’s nothing left
Walking now round and round
Familiar sights are open ground

Being here again I can recall
Forgotten moments, the rise and fall

We used to live where children play
They leave their homes a mile away
To come and stand in trees and grass
Where we once walked the memories last

Being here again I can recall
Forgotten moments, the rise and fall

The sun shines east, the sun shines west
But I know where the sun shine's best
Casey Street in the afternoon
Once again it’s over to soon

Being here again I can recall
Forgotten moments, the rise and fall
Being here again I can recall
Forgotten moments, the rise and fall

Rise
Rise and fall
Rise and fall
Rise and fall
Rise and fall

The sun shines east, the sun shines west But I know where the sun shines best Casey street in the afternoon

Is about a great sunny afternoon that began outside a pub in Cases Street (pronounced Casey Street) in Liverpool around 1981. I was with him and a few of my mates. I know this to be a fact as I have spoken to him about these words a few times since.....

Familiar sights are open ground. and We used to live where children play

is talking about which city? Liverpool too?
