Lonely Avenue Lyrics


Well, my room has got two windows
But the sun don't ever shine through
And I've been so sad and lonely
Since I broke off, baby, with youI live on a lonely avenue
Since you said that we were through
I feel so sad and lonely
And it's all because of youI could cry or I could die
I live on a lonely avenue
Yes I do, lonely avenueWell, my pillow is made of lead
And my cover is made of stone
And I toss and turn every night
I'm not used to being aloneI live on a lonely avenue
Since you said that we were through
And I feel so sad and lonely
And it's all because of you, babyI could cry, yeah, I could die
I live on a lonely avenue
Don't you know children it's a lonely avenue
Play your guitarOh children, this is a lonely avenueWell, my pillow is made of lead

And my cover is made of stone
But I toss and turn every night
I'm not used to being aloneI live on a lonely avenue
Since you said that we were through
And I feel so sad and lonely
And it's all because of youI could cry or I could die
Oh, I live on a lonely avenue
Lord, ain't this a lonely avenue
Well, well, it's a lonely avenue, tell him now
I live on a lonely avenue

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
George Ivan Morrison (generally known as Van Morrison) (born 31 August 1945) is a Grammy Award-winning artist from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He's a singer, songwriter, author, poet, and multi-instrumentalist, who has been a professional musician since 1958. He plays a variety of instruments, including the guitar, harmonica, keyboards, drums, and saxophone. Featuring his characteristic growl - a unique mix of folk, blues, Irish, scat, and Celtic influences - Morrison is widely considered one of the most unusual and influential vocalists in the history of rock and roll.

Known as "Van the Man" by his fans, Morrison first rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Northern Irish band Them, writing their 1964 hit "Gloria". A few years later, Morrison left the band for a successful solo career, starting with the album Astral Weeks.

Morrison has pursued an idiosyncratic musical path. Much of his music is tightly structured around the conventions of American soul and R&B, such as the popular singles "Brown Eyed Girl", "Moondance", "Domino", and "Wild Night". An equal part of his catalogue consists of lengthy, loosely connected, spiritually inspired musical journeys that show the influence of Celtic tradition, jazz, and stream-of-consciousness narrative, such as his classic album Astral Weeks and lesser known works such as Veedon Fleece and Common One. The two strains together are sometimes referred to as "Celtic Soul," and Morrison rejects the characterization of his genre of music as Rock, citing Elvis Presley as a non-influence.

He continues to perform regularly, and achieved his highest U.S. chart position (number ten on the Billboard 200) with his latest album, Keep It Simple.
