Ludlow Street - Suzanne Vega

Love is the only thing that matters

Love is the only thing that’s real

I know we hear this every day

It’s still the hardest thing to feel

This time

When I go back to Ludlow Street

I find each stoop and doorway’s incomplete

Without you there

Another generation’s parties

And it is still the same old scene

I can recall each morning after

Painted in nicotine

This time

When I go back to Ludlow Street

I find each stoop and doorway’s incomplete

Without you there

All of the people I once knew

All of the ones I was close to

Love is the only thing that matters

Love the only thing that’s real

And when I think about you now

Love is the only thing I feel

This time

When I go back to Ludlow Street

I find each stoop and doorway’s incomplete

Without you there

Tim, this time

When I go back to Ludlow Street

I find each stoop and doorway’s incomplete

Without you there
