The Great Road

Angel Down the Street
Wyoming Avenue sunsets, Javelins and Cobra Jets Scream their symphony through these valley roads, on their way through Somerset Spent those summers with Chainsaw Dave, under the hood of his Chevrolet Running Englishtown on Friday nights, and Atco on Saturdays We were young, we thought we had it made, Sharing everything everyday Your parents didn't like me much, but your sister did anyway But now it's cold outside and the leaves are gone I'm still trying to find out just what went wrong and all I know is your so far away
Me and Dave were running for the pink slips or we were running from the cops Hiding the car behind the factory by the loading docks waiting for the sirens and seachlights to fade I thought I had it made, I had a plan Like some bandana-wearing Superman but I just wasn't strong enough to make you see You're my angel down the street
It's raining sometimes I think we'll never see the sun or the stars anymore Then you came into my life, I still can't believe I let you walk out that door Now I'm hanging out with big-rig haulers, poolroom prophets and bar room brawlers as the Spanish gypsy strippers praise the virtue of their ways Dusty frames hanging on old wood panels, ashtrays is full of half-smoked Camels and the memories just won't let me forget the day
When we stole that six-pack from your brother, and your sister's cigarettes there was heaven in that campground shelter, underneath your dress and there was paradise in your eyes and I still remember the first time those blue eyes knocked me off my feet You're my angel down the street

He won't hold your hand or kiss your cheek, you don't talk anymore and your eyes don't meet and this great road to redemption seems like a gunpoint intervention, and all you can confess to is being alone Your life of rainbows and unicorns is now a wilting rose with bloody thorns and your dreams lay shattered all around your feet Where are you, my angel down the street?
Should we see each other or should we stay apart? Should we leave it to birthday wishes and picture Christmas cards? Things will never be the same if I hop a southbound plane and then say these words that have been just too hard 'Cause every snowflake that you see falling through the trees, is me just trying to be close to you Like every wave that you feel crashing on your heels, You'll see my face in every full moon
And then you'll know it when you feel me hold your hand and when I kiss you as I hold your cheeks I just want to hold you in my arms just to feel you breathe You're my angel down the street You're my angel down the street You're my angel down the street
