North Ave. - The Orwells

There comes time when all the children all want something else to do

They were headed to the graveyard walking down North Avenue

Tell me what to do about you and we’ll be just fine

I said, «I forgive you when I’m near you,» every single time

Running down the alleyway that we took home from school

Hand in hand and face to face, you told me I’m your fool

One by one and two by two, I tried not to be cruel

She said, «Wait for me on Second Street, I’ll see you after school.»

Could it be the reason that I met you at the pool?

The leaves were turning, I was learning what’s not right to do

The same things that I believe in when I’m in need of help

Don’t leave me on the concrete, crying by myself

Running down the alleyway that we took home from school

We were hand in hand and face to face, you told me I’m a fool

It’s goes one by one and two by two, I tried not to be cruel

She said, «Wait for me on Second Street, I’ll see you after school.»
