Second Avenue - Art Garfunkel

Since we can no longer make it, girl

I’ve 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

Livin' here without you

On Second Avenue

And since our stars took different paths

I guess I won’t be shavin' 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 rainin'

You said you couldn’t be stayin'

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»
