On The Streets Of
(From the 2004 release - On The Strrets Of)
I was standing on the streets of Clemens
Sometime in late July
And I watched all my friends sing and dance
I listened to them as they walked by
With a shy assuring glance
Chorus:
And if I were an old man returning
To the streets that I once knew
I don't believe I'd be yearning
To have it again and over to do
We talked of passion and dreams yet to come
As pain dimmed the night
One was leaving for Chicago
One still working
One still singing
One still swinging
One still wonderin' what a glass onion is
One ramblin' on
And the others not right!
(Chorus)
Time passed me around
And around us it flew
And still we had to go
But for every forgiving goodbye
We didn't want to let ourselves know
That soon summer would end and fall would begin
With on hundred sad see ya laters
And creeping upon us would be the rule
That someone would have to wait here
(Chorus)
I've been finding myself
Dreaming of the past
Won't you ell me
Please can't you tell me
Why you won't last?
