Empty Avenues

[Verse 1]
Someday someone might not believe my story's true
When I fell into a life that wasn't mine
And sang the words that other men would often sing
Reminisced the days of rose and wine
I never thought that there would ever come a day
When I would have to live alone or die
My tears would run and fill up empty avenues
Now suddenly those avenues are dry

[Chorus]
So I say, let's get the music started while we can
Bring yourself to the corner for dancing and wine
Let's pack it up and do it all again
'Cause we'll be singing together somewhere down the line

[Verse 2]
I'd never want to make a scene in front of you
But it brought me down, it brought me to my knees
Forever fallen from the man I used to be
When I was flying like the boy on the trapeze
I lost the chance to colorize my poetry
And I could only sing in shades of gray
But you write a song and everyone comes back again
And suddenly the band begins to play

[Chorus]
So I say, let's get the music started while we can
Bring yourself to the corner for dancing and wine
Yeah, let's pack it up and do it all again
'Cause we'll be singing together somewhere down the line

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Oh, I fear someday they won't believe my story's true
But I can tell you it was all too real
Now I'm looking down on all these crowded avenues
From high atop this spinning ferris wheel

[Chorus]
So I say, let's get the music started while we can
Bring yourself to the corner for dancing and wine
Let's pack it up, let's pack it up, let's do it all again
'Cause we'll be singing together somewhere down the line

[Outro]
Yeah, we'll be singing together somewhere down the line
Ooh, somewhere down the line
