Love will abide, take things in stride
Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means.
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time
Caught in my fears
Blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near
And I never drew one response from you
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me for a long long time
Wait for the day
You'll go away
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of flaws
Who knows the cause? Living in the memory of a love that never was
Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind
and I think I'm gonna miss you for a long long time
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time.
I turned in on the music
Circled back down to 2nd Avenue
And met with myself
Even though it seemed like it lasted till sunrise
I was then young and old
Made magic with the simple shillings
Footsteps on cobwebs
Mother crying alone in her kitchen
Men down in dark rooms
Splatter of bread and sinew
Sadness all around when we pass
Down to 2nd Avenue
The people sit and stare
Jokes whenever we're quiet
Bad pots of luck when the clouds dried
The books lay untouched
The curtains smelling of love
But then blows in the wind
Then it's all gone away
On vacations to southern shores
Wayfarring hikers on a winter mission
Flute plays still striking the songs high
we're playing, we're playing
Soon yet goodbye
Always singing from here to 2nd Avenue
I'll see you
I saw you
Dusty, misty news sliding under the mail
Spirits of the west making us live true
Believing all we can ever see
I'll see you when I cross over and step aside
I'll help you
Unborn sweet child.
