"Cold Water Canyon Avenue" lyrics

Hmm-hm
Cold Water Canyon Avenue
Heaven's above, it's true
I've seen it, and I'm falling
Falling from the arms of my guardian angel
Straight back to you

Halfway down that winding road
My destiny was almost too heavy to hold
As I saw my whole life flashing by
And I just lay there ready to die

But tonight, the stars burn their brightest every day
We found a way to dream on
We're alive (We're alive) but as the universe blinks everything you've ever loved could be gone
So this is love (This is love, this is love), so this is life (Ooh)

I was dressed up on the way to see friends
Driving to sunset, ruby red lips and nails
It must've looked strange as the fireman lifted me out of the car-wreck
Almost Evelyn McHale
Chuck heard the sirens from up on the hill
She came down fast as my world stood still
To be by my side, baby in arms
Those sisters beat darkness like fireflies

We're alive, the stars burn their brightest every day
We found a way to dream on
We're alive but as the universe blinks everything you've ever loved could be gone
So this is love (This is love, this is love), so this is life
So this is love (This is love, this is love), so this is life
So this is love (This is love, this is love), so this is life
(This is love, this is love, this is love, this is love) So this is life

Cold Water Canyon Avenue
Heaven's above you, it's true
I kissed my beautiful bruises
And thanked God for the very first time
I thanked God for the very first time
