6th Avenue

A strip of sunlight, a moment in time

A change of direction

Your life in a face, your words on a page

Now your heart needs no protection

In one conversation I saw what I’d always believed in

In just a few words I could tell it would hurt

To leave you without knowing when I might see you again

So again I depend on the unknown

I’ve travelled six thousand miles thirty thousand feet just to see you

Where is the danger?

I have my return ticket ready with nothing to lose

Has time taken leave of our senses

Or has sense taken leave of our time

If all of my life has been leading to this rendezvous

Let it happen on 6th Avenue

I’ve always lived life in search of surprise

I keep my eyes open

What you can’t control you can’t leave alone

So don’t choose be chosen

Now your tongue can’t say the questions cos you know the answers

In just a few words I could tell it would hurt

To leave you without knowing when I might see you again

I’ve travelled six thousand miles thirty thousand feet just to see you

Where is the danger?

I have my return ticket ready with nothing to lose

Has time taken leave of our senses

Or has sense taken leave of our time

If all of my life has been leading to this rendezvous

Let it happen on 6th Avenue

On any other day I’d have taken Broadway

In a New York minute

To think I could have missed you

I’ve travelled six thousand miles thirty thousand feet just to see you

Where is the danger?

I have my return ticket ready with nothing to lose

Has time taken leave of our senses

Or has sense taken leave of our time

If all of my life has been leading to this rendezvous

Let it happen on 6th Avenue
