Streetcorner

Street corner

Where I courted her

Where two streets meet

And paths cross in paving stone

Oh street lamp

Shine through seasons

Made us brighter

World around seem darker

Street corner

Where I bored her

With my schemes

And dreams of going somewhere

Oh heartland

Where our swan sang

It's goodbye forever

For further is but nearer to you

Where do we have to run

To when all the love is done

I lived in a street when I was young

We never did more than feel

Although I was your friend

You never thought

I'd be the boy

That you would meet

So you gave your love

To someone else and I slipped away

Now I know

I never will

Then I thought

That I'd get back with you someday

But I was wrong

So wrong

It's strange that one can be so wrong

So wrong

So long...
