Colin Blunstone - Second Avenue
------------------------------------
Since we can no longer make it, girl
I found a new place to live my life
It's really no place at all, just a hole in the wall, you see
It's cold and dusty but I let it be
Livin here without you on Second Avenue.
---
And since our stars took different paths
I guess I wont be shavin' in your looking glass
Guess my old friendly grin must have started to dim, somehow
And I certainly don't need it now
Still, I keep smiling through on Second Avenue.
--
I can still see you standing there on the third-floor landing
The day you visited we hardly said a word
Outside it was rainin', you said you couldnt be stayin'
You went back to your flowers and your birds.
---
Since we can no longer see the light
The way we did when we kissed that night
Then all the things that we felt must eventually melt and fade
Like the frost on my window pane
Where I wrote, I am you on Second Avenue.
