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
