Streetlight by Jamie Thomas

1. Crawled out from underneath the train
no one here carries any shame
it's a broken hearted lover 
who's to blame?
crawled out from underneath the train

2. I stepped out onto the avenue
couldn't walk down Broadway without you
I stopped at the corner we once knew
stepped out onto the avenue

refrain
Streetlight, black out the night
Streetlight, black out the night

3. I slammed the swinging door at the backfence
the only thing that made any sense
I felt for my wallet in my pants
sir, that'll be 3 dollars and fifty cents

4. I stumble outside into the street
dropped a quarter at some hobo's feet
I grabbed a cab there's a friend I've got to meet
wound up back on Bleecker St.

Refrain

5. Where you heart beats call it home
where your heart speaks on it's own
I never had the time to telephone
You know I left you behind in another time zone

6. I opened up the door to catch some breeze
I opened up a flood of memories
That stroke of luck was nothing more then a tease
I opened up the door to catch some breeze

Refrain
