On An Empty Downtown Street

[intro]

[instrumental]

On an empty downtown street
Moving slowly in the rain
The wipers swishing out a beat
The whole world is on retreat

A few more blocks and I'll be there
Why I'm going I don't care
I look up to the third floor
Do I dare, up to your door

[bridge]

I only want what I can't have
And what I have is of no use
Whatever dreams I may have had
Long ago they all went bad


[instrumental]

I don't even try to stop
And go by the parking lot
My hands shake, I grip the wheel
One more time around the block

Three times now, that's enough
Time to drive and keep on going
All I have is in this car
Up ahead they say it's snowing

[bridge]

I only want what I can't have
And what I have is of no use
Whatever dreams I may have had
Long ago they all went bad


[instrumental]

I only want what I can't have
And what I have is of no use
Whatever dreams I may have had
Long ago they all went bad

On an empty downtown street
Moving slowly in the rain
The wipers swishing out a beat
The whole world is on retreat

[instrumental]

[outro]

On an empty downtown  street (L1)

I write the lyrics; Mr. Alfonso Suno composes the music.  Working with the lovely Ms. Ai Ongaku, they create the arrangements.  Ms. Ongaku and her crowd are responsible for the performances.  My part in creating these tracks is very small. Nonetheless, I am to blame.  Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
