Colin Blunstone - Second Avenue
------------------------------------
Since we can no longer make it, girl 
I found a new place to live my life 
It's really no place at all, just a hole in the wall, you see 
It's cold and dusty but I let it be 
Livin here without you on Second Avenue. 
 ---
And since our stars took different paths 
I guess I wont be shavin' in your looking glass 
Guess my old friendly grin must have started to dim, somehow 
And I certainly don't need it now 
Still, I keep smiling through on Second Avenue. 
 --
I can still see you standing there on the third-floor landing 
The day you visited we hardly said a word 
Outside it was rainin', you said you couldnt be stayin' 
You went back to your flowers and your birds. 
 ---
Since we can no longer see the light 
The way we did when we kissed that night 
Then all the things that we felt must eventually melt and fade 
Like the frost on my window pane 
Where I wrote, I am you on Second Avenue.
