Seventh Avenue

Seventh Avenue - Rosanne Cash

The world keeps getting smaller

Till it closes round my room

And everything I feel now

Is hard and fast and true

My window is a spotlight

On the madness down below

It takes a silent figure

To make this place a home

And now the candles burn all night without you

And the moon hangs out of sight so blue

On Seventh Avenue

I gave you what you wanted

And it took so many years

Now I'm just a part of

The traffic and the tears

I am not a lighthouse

Not the answer or the truth

But the love that I held onto

Is safe inside this room

Now the candles burn all night without you

And the moon hangs out of sight so blue

On Seventh Avenue

Now the candles burn all night without you

And the moon hangs out of sight so blue

On Seventh Avenue

All of the stories from all of our lives

Are not lost from memories on these streets tonight
