Jackie DeShannon - Blue Street

It's funny how our lives are
Like a prize fight one day you're off and
Then you get knocked down
But I have learned the hurt can end
And we can come up smellin'
Like a rose again

Blue Street is a place that's in my past now
A few blocks down but not too far away
It's time to take another turn
And go to a place where memories won't burn

'Cause there's a sign post
Hangin' over the horizon
Waitin' for me like an open door
And I don't wanna walk down Blue Street
I've been there before
I don't wanna see his lonely
Broken eyes no more
I don't wanna walk down Blue Street
I've been there before
I don't wanna see his broken
Lonely eyes no more

I'm walkin' down the avenue of peace now
And I'm not swayin' from the course I take
Lily white the flowers bloom
And the sun is guidin' every move I make

And I'm not thinkin' of that
Old and lonesome Blue Street
A few blocks down but not too far away
'Cause time has come to take another turn
And leave him in the past to die and burn

'Cause there's a sign post
Hangin' over the horizon
Waitin' for me like an open door
And I don't wanna walk down Blue Street
I've been there before
I don't wanna see his lonely
Broken eyes no more
I don't wanna walk down Blue Street
I've been there before
I don't wanna see his broken
Lonely eyes no more
