Ravens & Chimes - Eleventh St. lyrics

I remember you on eleventh street With your long brown hair and your wicked smile And you laughed at me cause I was such a kid When I kissed the skin above your eye And we rode the train in each others' arms Out to Coney Island summer nights Where we lay backs to sand and count ten thousand stars only now you're gone and I don't know why And all I wanted out of life Was something beautiful to hold onto And I latch on my pillowcase My lungs coated in your perfume And a picture of you standing on Eleventh street in June And other times have changed And quite regretfully I am just not much wiser for my years Cause i still long to stand On fifth avenue And watch the cars rush eyes soaked in tears And there's a place for us In a better world If you just never let your beauty slide And i will wait for you On eleventh street Where your thin white body shant change And all I wanted out of life Was something beautiful to hold onto And I latch on my pillowcase My lungs coated in your perfume And a picture of you standing on Eleventh street in June And I got back to eleventh street But it's not the one that's in my mind Cause now the snow falls hard On the cold concrete And I ride the train alone at night
