| The street I live down the street from here I've seen many things I shouldn't have seen I ani't any genius here But I've wandered for years around here I live down the street from here I've seen children fight and fear For every night they've spent out here I bet you wouldn't have stayed around here I live down the street from here I've seen you for years and years Looking for some broken seat You used to sit on and think I owe you so many smiles You've left on that broken door When you only stood before Hoping it would open more No one I've seen before Would offer such a gentle thought No one I've seen before Would spend some time before my door I live down the street from here I've seen them build this big old tree It's been ther for years always free I cannot tell you what that means I live down the street from here So many people died around here While I was just standing near that tree Thinking 'bout a way to be No one I've seen before Would offer such a gentle thought No one I've seen before Would spend some time before my door I live down the street from here I'm so old like this big old tree Still standing there close to me I can see my soul flying away from me Finally reaching liberty |
