Daniel's by the jonny pump
|
he's drunk on cheap wine
|
he's got a monkey wrench in his hand
|
saying he'll be prepared next time
|
everything seemed so right
|
who would have thought to make amends
|
with a love so pure
|
who would have thought we'd burn in the end
|
from the tip of the fire to the heart of the blaze
|
when the rain came
|
there was nothing left to save
|
sifting thru the ashes for a clue
|
nothing but a memory of me and you
|
baby, down on Chelsea Avenue
|
|
Light a candle light a light
|
I'm going to take you down tonight
|
so let the bells ring and the whistles blow
|
across the soft country that we used to know
|
where every path you take is marked
|
and every story in your heart
|
all comes running back to you
|
baby, down on Chelsea Avenue
|
|
Didn't we love to love to love
|
didn't we love to love to love
|
didn't we love to love now
|
didn't we
|
didn't we walk so tall
|
didn't we walk so free?
|
didn't have to search for the strength
|
to be just what we wanted to be
|
after the temptations
|
it was just burning rain on wood
|
the more we learned the less we really understood
|
now I don't know who makes these final decisions
|
who will be rewarded, punished or just forgiven
|
but I forgave you darling because I knew
|
it's what you would have wanted me to do
|
baby, down on Chelsea Avenue
|
