Cold Side of the Avenue

from That's Curiosity by John Alan Kennedy

/

lyrics

you always walked on the cold side of the avenue
you always hid down deep in your coat
you always took steps so quiet and well-measured
i never thought that one day you’d keep going

quick down the avenue, past the alleyway and bodega,
softly through shadows as dark as your hair
you reached the corner, i watched you turn your head
you blew me a kiss, and then you let go

slower than slow
undeterred by the engines
egged on by indifference or maybe your tears
crushed in the intersect of horror and fear

i never thought that one day you’d keep going
i never thought that one day you’d be gone
i never thought that one day you’d stop trying
i never thought that one day you’d be gone
