Lyrics Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones

On The Street Where You Live

I have often walked

Down this street before

But the pavement always stayed

Beneath my feet before

All at once am I

Several stories high

Knowing I'm

On the street

Where you live

Are there lilac trees

In the heart of town

Can you hear a lark

In any other part of town

Does enchantment pour

Out of every door

No it's just on the street

Where you live

And oh the towering feeling

Just to know

Somehow you are near

The overpow'ring feeling

That any second

You may suddenly appear

You know

People stop and stare

They don't bother me

For there's nowhere else on earth

That I would rather be

Let the time go by

I don't care if I

Can be here

On the street

Where you live

And oh the towering feeling

Just to know

Somehow you are near

The overpow'ring feeling

That any second

You may suddenly appear

You know

People stop and stare

They don't bother me

For there's nowhere else on earth

That I would rather be

Let the time go by

I don't care if I

Can be here

On the street

Where you live

Can be here

On the street

Where you live
