America - 5th Avenue lyrics

Written by Gerry Beckley, ©1984

Found on Perspective.

Walking down 5th Avenue

I saw him walking there with you

People see and people talk

Word travels fast round my block

Might just save you the price of writing

I could save you an hour or two

Walking down 5th Avenue

Walking down 5th Avenue

Don't know what to ask of you

My mind is gettin' so confused

Even when I really try

Keeps sounding like I'm saying goodbye

Somewhere deep in my heart I'm hurtin'

'Cause I keep on remembering you

Walking down 5th Avenue

Walking down 5th Avenue

Such a long way to go

How many times must I look up and say

What kind of fool am I

But I can't turn my back on the times that we shared

No matter how I try

Walking down 5th Avenue

Can't seem to shake the thought of you

Even in the dark of night

Your memories of shining light

Though I'm tryin' to change direction

I pray what I saw ain't true

Walking down 5th Avenue

Walking down 5th Avenue

Such a long way to go

Do, do, do, do ...
