Christy Moore - Metropolitan Avenue lyrics

First days in the loft I thought
I might live, new faces, new streets
No cash in the hand was making me thing
What now? what's coming next?
That's not to say I wasn't
Welcomed, I was welcomed, i was taken in
I took the bait when I
Was hunted, I was wretched, i was freezing

Metropolitan avenue standing tall in
The winter rain
Will I ever see your face again?

Don't run like a dog I know
How it feels without heat, without love
Ran free in the park like Jekyll
And Hyde, me and Pete, me and Pete
Up half the night unwilling witness
To some strangers feud
Deep underground I hear the notes
Of some old gamblers blues
Metropolitan avenue standing tall in
The winter snow
I just didn't have a place to go
This road will never take me out
I've been stopped in my tracks

There goes the night and now the
Dawn begins to filter through
I took the bait when I was hunted
Didn't know that I was failing you

Metropolitan avenue standing tall in
The winter sun
I'll be back with you before I'm done
Metropolitan avenue standing tall in
The winter sun
I'll be back with you before I'm done
