FOREVER AVENUE


[VERSE 1]

Now the light has slipped behind the sun
So you're standing on that bridge again
Thinking about leaving, breaking out
From all of the confusion
Cos they promised you a silver lining
If you took their high road
Burning their candles in the iron sky.

[VERSE 2]

And your mother's sleeping
Drifting down into the shallow waters
Colour of purple, sees the faces among shadows
Wrapped in your refrain unfolding
While your wild sister is dancing in a club
Across another land
Says her soul is reborn and she'll stay until the dawn
In the deep of the night
Your older sister's stuck at the library walls again.

[BRIDGE 1]

So I'm holding you as I cry.

[VERSE 3]

Well it seems like the wind is howling your name
When you stretch out your arms
And below the highway is roaring
How could the lights stop tripping
The dim switch in your mind
When you're invisible and no one's home
To hear your burning soul, in the ripple of water.

[VERSE 4]

So they called your mother at 2 in the morning
She stares into the night to catch a star in her hand
Can't think of the answers, just grabs her clothes from the chair
Finds her strength, once again
Then she starts to cry because she knew that you would
If they changed their plans again,
Slithering with the truth
In a paper world.

[BRIDGE 2]

So I'm holding you as I cry.

[VERSE 5]

So she drives a hundred miles high
The radio drowns the echoes in her head
Like the unknown, they collide with the bend in the line on the freeway
And her mascara runs along her cheek
So they walk with her through the corridors
Folks rocking on the chairs
The mattress was turned over in the white room
You were playing the guitar in the garden
Head hung low, smoking your cigarette
A grey sculpture, in the calm among the trees
Where the strange lady with wide eyes, stood two feet high
I don't know what she said then
She just stared into her fears, mending the broken light in my eyes.

[BRIDGE 3]

So I'm holding you as I cry.

[CHORUS]

So you're making me cry
As I hold you close to me
Cos it feels like the belly of the beast
Is floating on our golden crown
While the world waits
For its freedom along the forever avenue.

[OUTRO]

So I'm holding you, for you
As we cry
As we cry
As we cry turning this stone together
As we cry we can laugh again
As we cry we can heal the pain
As we cry I'm holding all the love for you, in our forever avenue
As we cry
Cry
Cry.
