Very similar to one that I found myself in about 10 years ago, and I lost my way driving to a concert here in Belfast
At first I thought there was no one living in the street, but then I saw a little girl playing outside a house
She was throwing a ball up against the [D#m] wall and [D#] it is a picture that stayed in my mind
When I [B] came home that night I sat down [D] and wrote a song about it
Trying to imagine how Belfast might look through her eyes, and I called the song the last house in the street
