Sacramento Avenue by Rose Polenzani Lyrics

I'm whistling away
On Sacramento Avenue
Holed up in the attic
The people here don't know me
But they don't seem to mind
A homeless little girl
Never did no harm
'til she's let inside

Every day should be full of space
Every day should see my lover's face
Smiling back at me
Smiling
She lives far away
She is not my lover
But I can just pretend
Life's been good to me
And I'm happy with my life
Happy with my life

It was a troublesome drive
The last thing she said to me
She was locked inside
Some right-wing family
You say it's a matter of time
Well that may be the case
But time is just a part
Of time and space
The longer my arms
The tighter my grip
The more I hold
The more I let slip
And I never wrote you back
My silence lets you know:
The less I know of you
The less I let go

And I'm happy with my life
Happy with my life
