On The Street Where We Used To Live Feat. Brett Harris by Chris Stamey Lyrics

On the street where we used to live
They are building a laundromat
With a sign that says
"Cleaned and folded in one day"
On the street where we used to live
There's now a daycare for dogs and cats
Where they're pampered, brushed out and fed
While you're away
But there's nothing left that casts a shadow of
The fourth-floor walk-up
Where we fell in love
On the street where we used to live
On the street where we used to live
On the street where we used to live
In better days
There's the bookstore where we first met
Now a new internet cafe
A selection of beans from Hawaii to Brazil
Where's the little Italian joint
Where we'd talk until break of day
And ignore every time the waiter brought the bill?
Now it's changed so much that it's hard to believe
But behind new walls hide ancient memories
On the street where we used to live
On the street where we used to live
On the street where we used to live
Nothing remains
Oh, where did it go?
Will we wake up from this dream and find the road
That will lead us back again to the place where it all began?
Oh, where did it go?
Will we wake up from this dream and find the road
That takes us back again to the place where it all began?
Oh, what shall we find in this labyrinth of longitude and time?
As the stoplight turns to red with the moon high overhead
On the street where we used to live
On the street where we used to live
On the street where we used to live
Nothing remains
