Second avenue lyrics
by Art Garfunkel



Since we can no longer make it, girl
I found a new place to live my life
It's really no place at all
Just a hole in the wall, you see
It's cold and dusty but I let it be

Living here without you
On Second Avenue

And since our stars
Took different paths
I guess I won't be shaving
In your looking glass

Guess my old friendly grin
Must have started to dim, somehow
And I certainly don't need it now

Still, I keep smiling through
On Second Avenue

I can still see you standing
There on the third floor landing
The day you visited
We hardly said a word

Outside, it was raining
You said you couldn't be staying
And you went back to your
Flowers and your birds

Since we can
No longer see the light
The way we did
When we kissed that night

Then all the things that we felt
Must eventually melt and fade
Like the frost on my window pane

Where I wrote I am you
On Second Avenue
