Old College Avenue Lyrics
Of course I picked a rainy night
To try to find our past
The street lights all were flickering
The leaves were falling fastI walked down the winding road
Looked up through the trees
And I saw the corner window
That you once shared with meIt was Old College Avenue
And in the time of having you
I remember it as if it were todayThe tiny room and the single bed
Though the tangled trails of time
Have led us far astray
The membrance seems to stayAnd through all the roads that led me on
And through all the years that you've been gone
I have found that it would never go awayIt was Old College Avenue
And in the time of having you
I remember it as if it were todayThat fall turned into winter
The winter into spring
And all the while, you led me through
The sweet awakeningBut summer never came that year
It's what you went to find
And you took my future with you
And you left your past behindIt was Old College Avenue
And in the time of having you
I remember it as if it were todayThe tiny room and the single bed
Though the tangled trails of time
Have led us far astray
The membrance seems to stayAnd through all the roads that led me on
And through all the years that you've been gone
I have found that it would never go awayIt was Old College Avenue
And in the time of having you
I remember it as if it were todayI remember you as if it were today
