Avenue of Broken Hearts
Words and Music by Fran Tesorero, © 2014, all rights reserved
Does this road take you where you want to go?
Will you take it slow while you search your soul?
You say you want to go where you’ve never gone before
Your suitcase in your hand, slipping out the open door
And you’re looking for, something more tonight
When will you know you’ve reached your destination?
Can we both grow, and meet these expectations?
The sparkle in the distance draws souls from far and wide
You can taste the salty current as you ride upon the tide
The tears come from the fighter through the fits and through the starts
But the streetlights don’t burn brighter on the Avenue of Broken Hearts.
It’s a worn cliche I still believe in you
We’ll start a brand new day Let burning love break through
I know you’ve had enough and you want a fresh new start
But listen to my words they’re coming from my heart
And you’re looking for, something more tonight.
It happens to the best from the poor and to the rich
There’s times when all of us want to scratch that itch
From the waitress to the doctor to the patron of the arts
But the streetlights don’t burn brighter on the Avenue of Broken Hearts
And the pavement’s broken into thousand little parts
Glitter from the remnants on the Avenue of Broken Hearts
