(Rosanne Cash - John Leventhal)
|
|
The world keeps getting smaller
|
'Til it closes 'round my room
|
And everything I feel now
|
Is hard and fast and true
|
My window is a spotlight
|
On the madness down below
|
It takes a silent figure
|
To make this place a home
|
|
And now the candles burn all night
|
Without you
|
And the moon hangs out of sight
|
So blue
|
On Seventh Avenue
|
|
I gave you what you wanted
|
And it took so many years
|
Now I'm just a part of
|
The traffic and the tears
|
I am not a lighthouse
|
Not the answer or the truth
|
But the love that I held onto
|
Is safe inside this room
|
|
Now the candles burn all night
|
Without you
|
And the moon hangs out of sight
|
So blue
|
On Seventh Avenue
|
|
All of the stories from all of our lives
|
Are not lost from memories on these streets tonight
|
