on Clinton Street (rewrite one)


when I lived on Clinton Street
life was good and rent was cheap
we were young and we were in love
adulthood stood in front of us
but we ignored it just because
we both believed love was enough
time stood still in front of me
when I lived on Clinton Street

when I lived on Clinton Street
life was good enough to eat
with love the biggest banquet of it all
but it didn't feel like that back then
we played a game of let's pretend
we never thought that we would ever fall
to an end so incomplete
when I lived on Clinton Street

when I lived on Clinton Street
a time I never will repeat
we never saw what we would become
I do not know just where you went
but to me you were heaven sent
you let me know my childhood was gone
still I miss the times we used to meet
when I lived on Clinton Street
I've never known a time so sweet
as when I lived on Clinton Street
