Chelsea Avenue

Daniels by the jonny pump

Hes drunk on cheap wine

Hes got a monkey wrench in his hand

Saying hell be prepared next time

Everything seemed so right

Who would have thought to make amends

With a love so pure

Who would have thought wed burn in the end

From the tip of the fire to the heart of the blaze

When the rain came

There was nothing left to save

Sifting thru the ashes for a clue

Nothing but a memory of me and you

Baby, down on Chelsea Avenue

Light a candle light a light

Im going to take you down tonight

So let the bells ring and the whistles blow

Across the soft country that we used to know

Where every path you take is marked

And every story in your heart

All comes running back to you

Baby, down on Chelsea Avenue

Didn't we love to love to love

Didn't we love to love to love

Didn't we love to love now

Didn't we

Didn't we walk so tall

Didn't we walk so free?

Didn't have to search for the strength

To be just what we wanted to be

After the temptations

It was just burning rain on wood

The more we learned the less we really understood

Now I don't know who makes these final decisions

Who will be rewarded, punished or just forgiven

But I forgave you darling because I knew

Its what you would have wanted me to do

Baby, down on Chelsea Avenue
