Lyrics Ron Sexsmith

Ron Sexsmith

If Only Avenue

With the luxury of hindsight

The past becomes so clear

As I look out on the twilight

My days have become years

It's strange, as people we're prone to dwell

On things that we can't undo

And we're liable to wander down

If Only Avenue

In the company of distance

We see where it all went wrong

And we know what we'd do different

Should the chance come along

But change is easier said than done

It's a difficult thing to do and soon

You'll be taking the next right on

If Only Avenue

If only

You hadn't used up all your excuses

Now there's nobody else to blame

And that's when they call your name

"It's down at the end of lonely street"

Neath a moon that keeps shining blue

And we live with our thoughts alone

If Only Avenue

Oh why have I wandered down

If Only Avenue
