Meeting up with an old flame that moved on for, hopefully, better things.
Lyrics
A Lonely Avenue
V1
I see a picture painted perfect
But you’re moving so it’s true
You are back in the neighbourhood
I assume you’re passing through
No, you won’t stay; I know you’re passing through
V2
I hear you ask me how I’m doing
Well now, where shall I begin?
When you are draped in fur my dear
And I feel I’ve got gravy on my chin
Can’t help but wipe that gravy from my chin
Chorus:
I’d have given you anything you wanted
I’d have laid my life right down for you
But you needed those streets of gold
Not a dead end kid from a lonely avenue
That’s what you said, a lonely avenue
V3
So I smile and say I’m coping
And I hope you’re doing well
‘Cos I’m not fooled by the fur my dear
I know that you never can tell
I’ve learned by now, you really never can tell
Chorus:
I’d have given you anything you wanted
I’d have laid my life right down for you
But you needed those streets of gold
Not a dead end kid from a lonely avenue
That’s what you said, a lonely avenue
Bridge:
Still I’m glad that I have seen you
And if you should pass this way again
We should talk of those good old days
And I’ll skip this sad refrain
Chorus:
I’d have given you anything you wanted
I’d have laid my life right down for you
But you needed those streets of gold
Not a dead end kid from a lonely avenue
That’s what you said, a lonely avenue
A dead end kid from a lonely avenue
