On the Street Where You Live

On the Street Where You Live - Rickie Lee Jones

I have often walked

Down the street before

But the pavement always

Stayed beneath my feet before

All at once am I

Several stories high

Knowing I'm on the street where you live

Oh the lilac trees

In the heart of town

Can you hear a lark in

Any other part of town

Does enchantment pour out of every door

No it's just on the street where you live

And oh the towering feeling

Just to know somehow you are near

The overpowering feeling

That any second you may appear

You know People stop and stare

They don't bother me

There's no where else on earth

That I would rather be

Let the time go by

I don't care if I

Can be here on the street

Where you live

Can be here on the street

Where you live

And oh the towering feeling

Just to know

Somehow you are near

The overpow'ring feeling

That any second

You may appear

The people stop and stare

They don't bother me

Because there's no where else on earth

That I would rather be

Let the time go by

I don't care if I

Can be here on the street

Where you live

Can be here on the street

Where you live
