On The Street Where You Live Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones

I have often walked 

Down this street before 

But the pavement always stayed 

Beneath my feet before 

All at once am I 

Several stories high 

Knowing I'm 

On the street 

Where you live 

Are there lilac trees 

In the heart of town 

Can you hear a lark 

In any other part of town 

Does enchantment pour 

Out of every door 

No it's just on the street 

Where you live 

And oh the towering feeling 

Just to know 

Somehow you are near 

The overpow'ring feeling 

That any second 

You may suddenly appear 

You know 

People stop and stare 

They don't bother me 

For there's nowhere else on earth 

That I would rather be 

Let the time go by 

I don't care if I 

Can be here 

On the street 

Where you live 

And oh the towering feeling 

Just to know 

Somehow you are near 

The overpow'ring feeling 

That any second 

You may suddenly appear 

You know 

People stop and stare 

They don't bother me 

For there's nowhere else on earth 

That I would rather be 

Let the time go by 

I don't care if I 

Can be here 

On the street 

Where you live 

Can be here 

On the street 

Where you live
