paroles de chanson Park Avenue by Angelique Neumann - Rose Betts

When it is autumn in Hampstead
I forget about all the summer swims
Laughing on the balcony
Eating and painting en plein air
I even forget the steeple and the library
And the party where they played Tangled Up in Blue

I think only of you
Of the darkness and you
The darkness and you
Darkness and you
The darkness and you
Have become one, for me

But you must think I don't think of you at all
You must think I've patched up the you shaped hole in my soul
With chewing gum and dried lavender
That I can drive by your house without holding my breath
Like a child passing a cemetery

I float home after all the snails have gone to bed
Key into the empty lock
Then out again
Feel around for the switch
And remind myself
Loneliness is a perennial condition
Blooming again and again in the rain
