The world keeps getting smaller   'Til it closes 'round my room   And everything I feel now   Is hard and fast and true   My window is a spotlight   On the madness down below   It takes a silent figure   To make this place a home      And now the candles burn all night   Without you   And the moon hangs out of sight   So blue   On Seventh Avenue      I gave you what you wanted   And it took so many years   Now I'm just a part of   The traffic and the tears   I am not a lighthouse   Not the answer or the truth   But the love that I held onto   Is safe inside this room      Now the candles burn all night   Without you   And the moon hangs out of sight   So blue   On Seventh Avenue      All of the stories from all of our lives   Are not lost from memories on these streets tonight
