I remember you on eleventh street   with your long brown hair and your wicked smile   And you laughed at me cause I was such a kid   when I kissed the skin above your eye      And we rode the train in each others' arms   out to Coney Island summer nights   Where we lay backs to sand and count ten thousand stars only now you're gone and I don't know why      And all I wanted out of life    was something beautiful to hold onto.    And I latch on my pillowcase    my lungs coated in your perfume   And a picture of you standing on    eleventh street in June.      And other times have changed   and quite regretfully   I am just not much wiser for my years   Cause i still long to stand   on fifth avenue   and watch the cars rush eyes soaked in tears      And there's a place for us   in a better world   If you just never let your beauty slide   And i will wait for you    on eleventh street   Where your thin white body shant change.      And all I wanted out of life    was something beautiful to hold onto.    And I latch on my pillowcase    my lungs coated in your perfume   And a picture of you standing on    eleventh street in June.      And I got back to eleventh street   but it's not the one that's in my mind   Cause now the snow falls hard   on the cold concrete   And I ride the train alone at night.
