The Avenue - Entrance
You gave him all you had
And he gave you nothing'
Well that's the way it goes
In this town sometimes
Yeah and when your pocket's full
Everybody loves you
And lay out lavish when you haven't got a dime
So look both ways before you cross the avenue
Time will pass if you laugh
If you cry
And the best of friends
Have to part sometimes
So why not you and I
The last time I saw you was a sunday mornin'
And you were barefoot on the sidewalk again
Sayin' come up to my room at the joyce hotel
I can really use a friend
And now it's friday night out on the streets
It's still sunday mornin' in your eyes
When I hear your name
My heart still skips a beat
I hope you find your missing pieces by and by
And since you passed away
I gave up everything
I even let go of my ideas about revenge
So if I see you stumblin' down the avenue
I'll reach out my hand like a friend
And if you hurry to your hotel window
Then you just might see the back of my head
Though I'm slippin' through your fingers
I just thought you should know
Your perfume still lingers in my bed
So look both ways before you cross the avenue
Everybody falls on hard luck sometimes
And until we meet again
I'll be thinkin' of you
And then I'll see you when
Your trouble cuts like mine
