Old College Avenue

Lyrics

Of course I picked a rainy night
 To try to find our past
 The street lights all were flickering
 The leaves were falling fast
 I walked down the winding road
 Looked up through the trees
 And I saw the corner window
 That you once shared with me
 It was Old College Avenue
 And in the time of having you
 I remember it as if it were today
 The tiny room and the single bed
 Though the tangled trails of time
 Have led us far astray
 The membrance seems to stay
 And through all the roads
 That led me on
 And through all the years
 That you've been gone
 I have found that it would never go away
 It was Old College Avenue
 And in the time of having you
 I remember it as if it were today
 That fall turned into winter
 The winter into spring
 And all the while, you led me through
 The sweet awakening
 But summer never came that year
 It's what you went to find
 And you took my future with you
 And you left your past behind
 It was Old College Avenue
 And in the time of having you
 I remember it as if it were today
 The tiny room and the single bed
 Though the tangled trails of time
 Have led us far astray
 The membrance seems to stay
 And through all the roads
 That led me on
 And through all the years
 that you've been gone
 I have found that it would never go away
 It was Old College Avenue
 And in the time of having you
 I remember it as if it were today
 I remember you
 As if
 It were
 Today
