Lonely Avenue
Gillan & Glover Lyrics

Now my room has got two windows but the sunshine never comes through,
Despite having two windows in my room, sunlight never penetrates through either of them.

You know it's always dark and dreary since I broke off, baby, with you!
Ever since our break-up, my surroundings have been constantly gloomy and depressing.

CHORUS:
The following lines make up the song's chorus.

I live on a lonely avenue,
My street is devoid of social activity, making it a lonely place to reside in.

My little girl wouldn't say, "I do".
My significant other refused to commit to a future with me by taking the marriage vows.

Well, I feel so sad and blue
I'm overwhelmed with feelings of sadness and melancholy.

and it's all because of you.
You are to blame for my emotional state and loneliness.

I could cry, I could cry, i could cry,
I have ample reasons to cry and lament the current state of affairs.

I could die, I could die, I could die,
Life without you seems unbearable, and I contemplate ending my existence.

because I live on a lonely avenue, lonely avenue.
The reason for my sadness and emotional turmoil is due to the fact that I am living in a house situated on a desolate street.

covers they feel like lead and my pillow it feels like stone,
The bedding and pillows that were once comfortably soft now feel heavy and hard, leading to a disconcerting feeling.

Well, I've tossed and turned so ev'ry night,
Every night, I fail to get proper rest and have difficulty sleeping on account of your absence.

I'm not used to being alone!
Prior to our break-up, I was accustomed to having you around me at all times, making my current loneliness particularly intolerable.

Now I've been so sad and lonesome since you've left this town,
Since you left the vicinity, my life has been infused with profound sadness and loneliness.

If I could beg or borrow the money, child, I would be a highway bound!
I am so desperate to escape the misery of my present circumstances that I would rob, borrow or beg funds in order to leave town and hit the highway.

CHORUS
Repeats the chorus of the song.
