Lyrics Chelsea Avenue - Patti Scialfa

Daniel's by the Jonny Pump
He's drunk on cheap wine
He's got a monkey wrench
In his hand
Saying
He'll be prepared next time
Everything seemed so right
Who would have thought
To make amends
With a love so pure
Who would have thought
We'd burn in the end
From the tip of the fire
To the heart of the blaze
When the rain came
There was nothing
Left to save
Sifting thru
The ashes for a clue
Nothing
But a memory of me and you
Baby
Down on Chelsea Avenue

Light a candle light a light
I'm going to take you
Down tonight
So let the bells ring
And the whistles blow
Across the soft country
That we used to know
Where every path
You take is marked
And every story in your heart
All comes running back to you
Baby, down on Chelsea Avenue

Didn't we love to love to love
Didn't we love to love to love
Didn't we love to love now
Didn't we
Didn't we walk so tall
Didn't we walk so free?
Didn't have to search
For the strength
To be just what we wanted to be
After the temptations
It was just burning rain on wood
The more we learned the less
We really understood
Now I don't know
Who makes these final decisions
Who will be rewarded
Punished or just forgiven
But I forgave you
Darling because I knew
It's what you would
Have wanted me to do
Baby, down on Chelsea Avenue
