"Bishops Avenue" lyrics

"Bishops Avenue"

Summer is sweet on Bishops Avenue
The nightingale sings and all the roses bloom
I can feel there's a dream that we must wake from soon
But I'd rather stay a little longer here with you
Oh I'd rather stay a little longer here with you

Catch every raindrop like they're falling stars
And then when the pain stops let me hold your heart
I may not understand it, though I've seen its scars
And I'd rather stay a little longer where we are
Oh I'd rather stay a little longer where we are

And we'll go on, we'll go on
Like before but always distant
We'll go on and I'll turn every time I feel the pull
And we'll go on, we'll go on
Like before but only different
We'll go on and I'll learn how to breath when love is gone

Summer is short on Bishops Avenue
The leaves start to fall like sunlight shards through broken roofs
I can feel that the dream is dying just too soon
And I'd rather lie a little longer here with you
Oh I'd rather lie a little longer here with you

And we'll go on, we'll go on
Like before but always distant
We'll go on and I'll turn every time I feel the pull
And we'll go on, we'll go on
Like before but only different
We'll go on and I'll learn how to breath when love is gone

Going in circles
Looking for angels
But it's too late now
Feeling so empty
Nothing can cure me
Oh I'm going down
[?] Far as a [?]
Looking for something
To numb this pain
Walking through crowds
With the music so loud
So I don't feel anything

And we'll go on, we'll go on
Like before but always distant
We'll go on and I'll turn every time I feel the pull
And we'll go on, we'll go on
Like before but only different
We'll go on and I'll learn how to breath when love is gone

And we'll go on, we'll go on
Like before but always distant
We'll go on and I'll turn every time I feel the pull
And we'll go on, we'll go on
Like before but only different
We'll go on and I'll learn how to breath when love is gone

Summer is sweet on Bishops Avenue
The nightingale sings and all the roses bloom
