about

"A unique and unusual track." Robin Loxley [Loxley's Corner] Actual Radio
This version (recorded and produced by Jim Thackeray) was a compromise - half way house between my acoustic version of the track and Jim's stadium rock version

VERSE 1

Games of hopscotch we would play
Out on the street every day
The sound of the stone upon that slab
…Were the best days I ever had

CHORUS
When my queen was sleeping
When my queen was sleeping

VERSE 2
Across the fields in the summer breeze
Roller skates and climbing trees
The far off (I hear the) train(s) as I lay in my bed
And thoughts of you would fill my head.

CHORUS
When my queen was (lay) sleeping
When my queen was(lay) sleeping

[Middle]
Then one day you moved away
I missed you more than I could say

VERSE 3
I see you now on the TV screen
You still hold yourself like that queen
And do you still remember me
I those days back on the street

You tucked your dress into your pants
And across those slabs you would dance…

When my queen was sleeping
When my queen was sleeping
