Avenue A

Avenue A by Dan Strauss Do you remember that little coffee shop on Avenue A We'd wake up early sit and talk on Saturdays Walk around arm in arm as the leaves turned brown That was a different time in a different town I've got a picture of you down in Mexico Standing beside ruins as the sun's sinking low And if I tried a million times in a million different ways I'd never find a day like that in a million different days And I walk I walk I walk alone Sometimes when the world seems hollow quiet and strange You're rummaging through your old jeans looking for loose change The part of you that isn't part of anything you are Echoes through the night like a stolen car And I walk I walk I walk alone Haven't you see the way she tries to catch your eye How she smiles softly every time that you walk by If you weren't half asleep you'd be wide awake And find a way to pull yourself through every mistake If you stand for something then you'll never stand alone If you lay your hat down here then you can call it home As long as there is music and as long as I've got time I could dance awhile with your little hand in mine And I walk I walk I walk alone
