Lyrics

SECOND AVENUE
(Champeaux and Sherman)
Tuesday morning lying next to you
September so true 
Phone keeps ringing somewhere up the hall
Sirens are nothing new 
Like a rerun watching on TV 
Didn’t seem real 
And every time I see that blue I remember 
Second Avenue
All that crying and airplanes flying
Nothing’s the same 
Out my window white stretchers in a line
Still nobody came 
14th Street me and strangers in a bar silent 9am 
And every time I see that blue I remember 
Second Avenue
The flyers at the Armory names and faces smiling places last seen
Known you for years never seen so many tears brought us to our knees
A million hidden scars and all those invisible stars 
The years call you by name
Uptown roads never travelled
The sacred dust and gravel
Downtown the souls still remain
Tuesday morning still lying next to you
It’s September again 
And every time I see that blue   I remember
Second Avenue
