Lady of Avenue A

You said goodnight
 Wrapped your scarf up tight
 And left into a winter scene
 The Lower East Side
 Is just a place to hide
 A place to privately dream
 Good times and lost nights on Avenue A
 Don't let the bright lights take you away
 You just can't believe what the city folks say
 My lady of Avenue A
 These old downtown streets
 Where lovers meet
 To sometimes laugh, to sometimes cry
 A strange parade
 All new things fade
 But somehow this place stays the same
 Good times and lost nights on Avenue A
 Don't let the bright lights take you away
 You just can't believe what the city folks say
 My lady of Avenue A
 You fall asleep
 I hear you breathe
 The snow outside, I make some tea
 The cat's awake
 And plays with string
 As I slip into a dream
 Good times and lost nights on Avenue A
 Don't let the bright lights take you away
 You just can't believe what the city folks say
 My lady of Avenue A
 My lady of Avenue A
