Outer Rooms - Greenwood Park

You said if we moved you’d miss Greenwood Park
Even the whispering windows on Alton after dark
Glowing phones calling cops on off-leash dogs
And off-leash teens smoking weed and laughing wrong
Like shit was waking up and uprooting their trees
After the dog came along, you finally felt like a family
The cops and noise complaints let us know where we stood
Are you watching out for your neighbours when everyone’s a hood
We had to leave, move closer to the DVP
In the end, it made little difference to me
What I really miss about Greenwood Park
Is how it made you hopeful at the start
On clear days, you could see the lake
Through all the condos standing in the way
The truth is, in all those years I remember
We never felt like we belonged or were members of a community
We rented space among owners of property
The streetcars whistled
You whispered, you felt like a family
