    On Seventh Avenue
    by Lisa Scarboro

    Here we are again...
    apart.
    I don't know where you are.
    I can only wonder
    and the waiting is endless
    here on Seventh Avenue
    and every car sounds like yours
    and the cigarettes burn
    and the blue smoke drifts up and away
    and out of sight like you are.
    You've got Jack with you riding shotgun
    and you're on the road again just like old times
    and I'm sitting here with pen and paper
    writing this just to have something to do
    just like old times on Seventh Avenue..
    Who did you keep warm last night?
    It wasn't me is all I know.
    I heard they're predicting rain today,
    but I think rain came yesterday,
    red and barefooted under a hot Georgia sun.
    Wouldn't take very long to reach Alabama
    unless it moves north.
    Is it gloomy everywhere today,
    or just on Seventh Avenue?
    I'd walk away from everything if I could,
    but a million little cords of responsibility have
    me tied down here
    and so I light another cigarette
    and try to ignore the fact that the clocks are
    acting strangely.
    Is time standing still everywhere,
    or just on Seventh Avenue?
    And I have to forgive the ignorant cruelty of
    people driving past my house
    (because they don't know)
    how I'm sitting here listening for
    the sound of a motor stopping
    and a car door shutting
    and footsteps on the porch
    and a key turning in the lock
    and a voice saying "hey there",
    I'd give almost anything
    for all that to be true,
    but as yet it hasn't happened
    here on Seventh Avenue.
