Lyrics
(Lonely Avenue)
(The dangerous heart)
The times were hard, and I was running
I could feel my chance was coming
Another time, another place
The pillow filled with frozen tears
See the gates, a distant fire
Showed the way to my desire
Laying down my heart for you
‘Cause I’m lonely, feeling blue
I know that I’ll never die of love
But I’ll never get enough
Oh, I got no time to lose
On my avenue to a jet airliner
Avenue to My Broken Dreams
My avenue to a jet airliner
Like an old, old movie scene
My a-avenue to a jet airliner
Brings me back to the dreams I loved
My good guys only win in movies
But this time, babe, I’ll get tough
(The avenue is closed)
(Is closed)
(Forever)
Love can breed misunderstanding
But my heart will soon be landing
Another love on golden wings
Oh, I’ll buy you diamond rings
Waiting for a lonely rainbow
Magic wave, where will I go?
Breaking down my heart to you
‘Cause I’m lonely, feeling blue
I know that I’ll never die of love
But I’ll never get enough
Oh, I got no time to lose
On my avenue to a jet airliner
Avenue to My Broken Dreams
My avenue to a jet airliner
Like an old, old movie scene
My a-avenue to a jet airliner
Brings me back to the dreams I loved
My good guys only win in movies
But this time, babe, I’ll get tough
(You know)
(You can change it)
(Can change it)
(You can change it)
(You can change it)
