lyrics

i'm standing on the corner watching it all come down
the path that used to take me to my favorite person in town
it's the route i used to travel every time we'd rendezvous
but now it's torn to pieces and i feel my beating heart is too
oh dear departed 26th street

you used to take me to my baby's arms on those cozy nights we spent
now you're a pile of twisted rebar, scattered chunks of cold cement

it wasn't my choice to go
the road closed behind me though
leaving an insurmountable distance to span
but being alone now hurts so department of public works
won't you build me a bridge that will bring me back to my man

not that i've been heading out to that address anymore
not since that sad saturday when i was shown the door
oh dear departed 24th street (you too!!)

it used to be bliss to walk upon you to my baby's kiss so sweet
but we broke up and now you're gone too, you're just a pile of cold concrete

it wasn't my choice to go
the road closed behind me though
leaving an insurmountable distance to span
but being alone now hurts so department of public works
won't you build me a bridge that will bring me back
(an impossible bridge cause you can't go back)
won't you build me a bridge that will bring me back to my man
