You said goodnight

A place to privately dream

Don't let the bright lights take you away

You just can't believe what the city folks say

My lady of Avenue A

These old downtown streets

A strange parade

All new things fade

But somehow this place stays the same

Good times and lost nights on Avenue A

As I slip into a dream
