Eddie Vincent – Kingsway lyrics
It’s been some time since I drove these streets
So many years, in fact
That now that I am here again
Can’t help from looking back
Warm summer nights, the sun still high
Reflections on the trees
And you were laughing by my side
Your hair wild on the breeze.

They put the highway through your old backyard
The place where I once tried so hard
To make you run away with me on Kingsway.

It’s been a long time since I walked this street
Came looking for your place
Walked ‘round and ‘round while the neighbors watched
Suspicion in every face
The empty fields of long ago now hum with industry
And thousands pass, but they don’t know this little history.

They put the highway through your old backyard
The place where I once tried so hard
To make you run away with me on Kingsway.

No you can’t go home again
But for a moment I’m back when
I had a lover and a friend.
Times change, and so have I
Too many years to cry
So I’ll just drive and wonder why down Kingsway.

    This song is about Edmonton in the 1980s and, in particular, a girl I was obsessed with. I used to pick her up at the hospital after her shift, sitting in the car alone waiting and listening to "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins, knowing deep down that that it wouldn't last - we were in way too different places in our lives. I wrote this song years later, drinking Crown Royal in an Edmonton hotel room and thinking about the past. Her memory will stay with me forever.
