Down On The Avenue by Jon Lawler Lyrics
The morning sun came in through my window
Casts its jealous light on my love's eyes
She stirs like the flowers in the meadow
And she captures my heart where she lies
She sings to me like the night owl calling
To the moon from a silver tree
And she gives me no reasons or answers
To my hangups and my mysteries
And I said honey babe don't worry your pretty little head
I'll miss you like the rising sun and silver stars she said
And I told her that we'd meet again
Down on the avenue
I met her down by the station
Where those big city trains come in
She was walking with some peace protesters
Brown hair and sun kissed skin
I told her that I was a singer
Yeah I'd even wrote some songs of my own
So I sang her one, she smiled and she said
You sing in a monotone
And I said honey babe don't worry your pretty little head
I'll miss you like the rising sun and silver stars she said
And I told her that we'd meet again
Down on the avenue
So I took her to New York City
And I kissed her in San Tropez
We danced under the sun in the morning
And sang til the city grew dark
We married in Old Savannah
Honeymooned in Mexico
Came back to the village in the springtime
Just in time to see the river flow
Yeah and I said honey babe don't worry your pretty little head
I'll miss you like the rising sun and silver stars she said
And I told her that we'd meet again
Down on the avenue
She [?] the sunset
As the lights flicker on the bay
And smiled at harmonica Jesus
As he played songs day after day
And down in the street by the subway
She still calls out give peace a chance
And thinks that we'll all find paradise
If we make love and sing and dance
And I said honey babe don't worry your pretty little head
I'll miss you like the rising sun and silver stars she said
And I told her that we'd meet again
Down on the avenue
Casts its jealous light on my love's eyes
She stirs like the flowers in the meadow
And she captures my heart where she lies
She sings to me like the night owl calling
To the moon from a silver tree
And she gives me no reasons or answers
To my hangups and my mysteries
And I said honey babe don't worry your pretty little head
I'll miss you like the rising sun and silver stars she said
And I told her that we'd meet again
Down on the avenue
I met her down by the station
Where those big city trains come in
She was walking with some peace protesters
Brown hair and sun kissed skin
I told her that I was a singer
Yeah I'd even wrote some songs of my own
So I sang her one, she smiled and she said
You sing in a monotone
And I said honey babe don't worry your pretty little head
I'll miss you like the rising sun and silver stars she said
And I told her that we'd meet again
Down on the avenue
So I took her to New York City
And I kissed her in San Tropez
We danced under the sun in the morning
And sang til the city grew dark
We married in Old Savannah
Honeymooned in Mexico
Came back to the village in the springtime
Just in time to see the river flow
Yeah and I said honey babe don't worry your pretty little head
I'll miss you like the rising sun and silver stars she said
And I told her that we'd meet again

And I told her that we'd meet again
