Lyrics
Down on Greenville Avenue
You were singing down on Greenville Avenue
in the candle-lit cafes I used to wait for you
on summer nights you were a breath of mountain air
oh but your gentle songs weren?t really welcome there
you kissed me goodbye on Greenville Avenue
Chorus:
So many faces so few names
and in the dark they look the same
guess I will play just one more game
while I?m down on Greenville Avenue
Sipping wine, talking big and looking good
I?m climbing higher than I ever thought I would
but every now and then I fight a wave of fear
what would you say if you saw how I greased the wheels
makin? the deals on Greenville Avenue
(repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
They say you gotta sell yourself if you want success
but I?ve sold myself so many times I don?t know what is left
and I don?t know if you?ll ever find your way back to this town
I still look for you when I'm down on Greenville Avenue
(repeat Chorus:
from line 3?does anybody ever win this game
that I play on Greenville Avenue
I?m still here on Greenville Avenue
down on Greenville Avenue)
