Irene Avenue

I like a girl who lives in Maine Gabrielle is her first name She doesn't settle down that much I guess for me that's just a shame She walks the Earth from town to town Writes in a storybook laid down To bed beside her for the night She gets up for the morning light Her eyes are bright blue or bright green Admittedly I've trouble seeing Too clear through pixelated phones Either way my god do they sheen I wish that I could see her there Back table coffee shop so near That night in Boulder at my show The feelings that she'll never know Ooo She's racing through her Irene Avenue Ooo A road traveled by one but meant for two I have no right to feel this way She only knew me for a day Holding to my luck fast astern Some things I'm never meant to learn Where she runs I'd follow if she'd let me But I'm too scared she'd forget me Cause she's a free spirit That I could never hold too close I yearn for things I must let go Ooo She's racing through her Irene Avenue Ooo A road traveled by one but meant for two If I could talk to her right now I'd say I remember asking you Which of my songs was your favorite tune My only regret is that this one may not make it to you If stars and satellites were vessels I'd sail right through the moon And land in your melodic view I promise that I'll always have Her smile in my mental bag Full of the wonders that I hold The dearest to my heart and soul One day maybe we'll meet again I think as I write with my pen About the way she makes me smile Wish she could be here for awhile Ooo She's racing through her Irene Avenue Ooo A road traveled by one but meant for two Irene Irene Irene Avenue Irene Irene Irene Avenue Irene Irene Irene Avenue A road traveled by one but meant for two
