Paradise Alley

Remember me
You were a friend of mine
Restless and young
I'm the one, you made love to for the first time

Now look at you, what you been up to
Since I saw you last?
Your hair's a mess, you're half-dressed
You're loaded and you're fadin' fast

All the dreams
You had of wealth and fame
You took to the city, what a shame
They're all shattered, now your heart's in pain

Makin' love for a livin', you've given up
All you've got's a heart of stone
Makin' the most of a sad situation
Paradise Alley's your home

Paradise Alley
What a way to be alone
Paradise Alley
A thousand miles away from home, yeah

Lookin' back
I still recall the time
I wonder how in the world
Was it so easy to be so unkind

Will you be sorry
When you realize the story has to end this way?
Lost in the night, never quite getting used to
All the games they play

You wait in vain and your heart's in pain
And dreams are all you have to hold on to
You're losin' touch and it hurts so much
To think of all the love I had for you

Paradise Alley
What a way to be alone
Paradise Alley
A thousand miles away from home, yeah

Paradise Alley
What a way to be alone
Paradise Alley
A thousand miles away from home

Paradise Alley
What a place to call your home
Paradise Alley
What a way to be alone, yeah
