Hazel Street

She said you were in the basement

When I knocked upon the door

That august afternoon

Through the kitchen, down the stairs

I found you waiting there

Your hair had grown

On hazel street, on hazel street, on hazel street

Colored blankets for your walls

A dirty bed upon the floor

You were not mine

Then the girl called down to you

I had a feeling that you knew

I'd be the one to see you through

On hazel street, on hazel street, on hazel street

Late that night, behind the bar

We surely knew how to play the part of lovers

It was nothing new

I woke up drunk on that basement floor

And then you asked how I would read the score

You asked me to marry you

On hazel street, on hazel street, on hazel street

I headed south on highway 5

My head was pounding, I was bleary eyed

That august afternoon

You went and broke the young girl's heart

You said we'd have a brand new start

I'd be the one to see you through

Be the one to see you through

Be the one to see you through
