STATUES As recorded by Amy Macdonald (From the 2020 Album THE HUMAN DEMANDS) [Intro] [Verse 1] There’s a boy across the street He’s just trying to find his way Coming over to my house I see him every day His mum and dad are busy They never have the time To listen to his feelings What’s playing on his mind [Chorus] All the children stand like statues On the street where I was born It’s a street where nothing changes But the road where I come from Now the cherry blossom’s falling And the nights are drawing in Oh I’m standing here I’m frozen As the world goes ’round again [Verse 2] The playground bell keeps ringing A moving van appears A change about to happen That we haven’t seen for years A family’s moving in I never thought I’d see On the street where nothing changes A girl that looks like me I watch her from across the street I don’t know what to say Time will tell if we’ll be friends But that’s another day [Chorus] All the children stand like statues On the street where I was born It’s the street where nothing changes But the road where I come from Now the cherry blossom’s falling And the nights are drawing in Oh I’m standing here I’m frozen As the world goes ’round again [Bridge] Don’t change nothing at all Street lights lead me back home    Am I dreaming? Is it morning? Am I still here? Am I gone?      [out-Chorus] All the children stand like statues On the street where I was born It’s the street where nothing changes But the road where I come from Now the cherry blossom’s falling And the nights are drawing in Oh I’m standing here I’m frozen As the world goes ’round again Now the cherry blossom’s falling And the nights are drawing in Oh I’m standing here I’m frozen As the world goes ’round again And we all go ’round again
