I'm broken down and full of woe
I've got the feeling I've no place to go
Holy houses bring me from my bourbon sunshine
Beat my brow and interrupt my flow
(Chorus)
That flaming heart called love
Brings me to my knees and I pray
That flaming heart called love
Leads me to another day
The sidewalk slips along beneath my feet
The rain dries up and shimmers in the heat
Cars drive by with smiling faces in their windows
Walking down the hill to Sunset Street
(Chorus)
