old college avenue
Of course I picked a rainy night To try to find our past The street lights all were flickering The leaves were falling fast  I walked down the winding road Looked up through the trees And I saw the corner window  That you once shared with me  It was Old College Avenue And in the time of having you I remember it as if it were today The tiny room and the single bed  Though the tangled trails of time  Have led us far astray The membrance seems to stay And through all the roads  That led me on  And through all the years That you've been gone I have found that it would never go away  It was Old College Avenue And in the time of having you I remember it as if it were today That fall turned into winter  The winter into spring And all the while, you led me through The sweet awakening But summer never came that year  It's what you went to find And you took my future with you And you left your past behind It was Old College Avenue  And in the time of having you I remember it as if it were today The tiny room and the single bed Though the tangled trails of time  Have led us far astray The membrance seems to stay And through all the roads That led me on  And through all the years That you've been gone I have found that it would never go away It was Old College Avenue  And in the time of having you I remember it as if it were today I remember you As if  It were Today
