Art Garfunkel Second Avenue Lyrics

Second Avenue Lyrics

Since we can no longer make it, girl,

I found a new place to live my
life.

It's really no place at all,

Just a hole in the wall, you
see.

It's cold and dusty but I let it be,

Livin' here without
you,

On Second Avenue.

And since our stars took different
paths,

I guess I won't be shavin' in your looking glass.

Guess my
old friendly grin,

Must have started to dim, somehow,

And I
certainly don't need it now,

Still, I keep smiling through,

On
Second Avenue.

I can still see you standing

There on the
third-floor landing.

The day you visited we hardly said a word.

Outside it was rainin',

You said you couldn't be stayin,

And you
went back to your flowers and your birds.

Since we can no longer see the
light

The way we did when we kissed that night,

Then all the things
that we felt,

Must eventually melt and fade,

Like the frost on my
window pane

Where I wrote, "I Am You,"

On Second Avenue.
