Chelsea Avenue

Scialfa Patti

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
