Metropolitan Avenue - Christy Moore
Written by:Words/M
First days in the loft I thought I might live
New faces
New streets
No cash in the hand was making me sick
What now what's coming next
Thats not to say I was'nt welcomed I was welcomed
I was taken in
I took the bait when I was hunted
I was wretched I was freezing
Metropolitan avenue
Standing tall in the winter rain
Will I ever see your face again
Don't run like a dog I know how it feels
Without heat without love
Ran free in the park like Jekyll and Hyde
Me and Pete
Me and Pete
Up half the night unwilling witness to some strangers feud
Deep underground I hear the notes of some old gamblers blues
Metropolitan avenue
Standing tall in the winter snow
I just didn't have a place to go
This rose will never blossom now
It needs light shining on it's back
This road will never take me out
I've been stopped in my tracks
There goes the night
And now the dawn begins to filter through
I took the bait when I was hunted
Did'nt know that I was failing you
Metropolitan avenue
Standing tall in the winter sun
I'll be back with you before I'm done
Metropolitan avenue
Standing tall in the winter sun
I'll be back with you before I'm done
