Greg Brown - Every Street in Town lyrics

I knew a woman, She was my friend, When we met I felt like I'd been born again Ah, we spent all our time outside 'Cause people say small things when they stay too long in little rooms. In the sunshine In the rain or snow We even climbed a pinetree in a tornado Outside was where all our live was found And I guess we must have walked on every street in town. Every street in town, Every street in town, In the cool summer evenings Or when the snow was falling down, We'd go walkin' on every street in town. [harmonica break] She'd been gone such a long, long time But it's often I feel her right there by my side When I'm walkin' I'm talkin' to her In the wet and yellow fall Or past the parks in the summer Where the kids is playin' ball An' it's sometimes I see a woman out alone An' she worried about gettin' back to her home An' I think of my friend and all of the joy that we found When we's just walkin' and talkin' on every street in town. An' I wonder when the day will every come When we won't be so sad and so dumb An' when a woman could walk out free in the day and night Without havin' to worry if she's gonna be alright on Every street in town, Every street in town, In the cool summer evenings Or when the snow was falling down, We'd go walkin' on every street in town
