Blue Street - Jackie DeShannon

It’s funny how our lives are like a prize fight

One day you’re off and then you get knocked down

But I have learned the hurt can end

And we can come up smellin' like a rose again

Blue Street is a place that’s in my past now

A few blocks down but not too far away

It’s time to take another turn

And go to a place where memories won’t burn

'Cause there’s a sign post hangin' over the horizon

Waitin' for me like an open door

And I don’t wanna walk down Blue Street

I’ve been there before

I don’t wanna see his lonely, broken eyes no more

I don’t wanna walk down Blue Street

I’ve been there before

I don’t wanna see his broken, lonely eyes no more

I’m walkin' down the avenue of peace now

And I’m not swayin' from the course I take

Lily white the flowers bloom

And the sun is guidin' every move I make

And I’m not thinkin' of that old and lonesome Blue Street

A few blocks down but not too far away

'Cause time has come to take another turn

And leave him in the past to die and burn

'Cause there’s a sign post hangin' over the horizon

Waitin' for me like an open door

And I don’t wanna walk down Blue Street

I’ve been there before

I don’t wanna see his lonely, broken eyes no more

I don’t wanna walk down Blue Street

I’ve been there before

I don’t wanna see his broken, lonely eyes no more
