On a Street Corner (2024 Remaster)

歌詞

It was on a street corner In my hometown That's when I first saw you and I regret that Day now There was sun on that morning As I lay in my single bed The bed at the back of the family home Those yellow curtains over my head Black shoes and old jeans A favourite shirt of faded blue Blue, blue, blue That's what I had on The day I first saw you That's what I was wearing The day I first saw you And baby tell me What childhood crime Made you so narrow So hard all the time Your old lines your harshness Of what others should do I did not know What hit me when I came To know you I did not know What hit me when I came To know you The city was beneath me then It was glittering like a star Throwing up its suggestions Of who it thinks you are Who it thinks that you are And what it thinks you could be Could be, could be, could be That's how it was The day you walked past me That's how it was The day you passed me And baby tell me What is it like To always be so narrow And always so right To carry your fury And to always lay it down I did not know About these things In my hometown It was on a street corner And I regret that day now
