Ship Inn called, offered me a gig for evening
Singing sad songs softly to myself in grieving
Black and white were the records on the wall
Black and cold is my heart and all
Too bitter and hurting to haul
All myself along
As I'm strolling one-way streets I'd long got lost in
The row house pretty colours, how we loved them
Cobblestones once pebbled in the ground
Brittle pavement sinking in now
And the sweet charms of the old town are lost on me tonight
I'm losing sleep, I can't forget you
Heart skips its beat when I lament you
Rennie's River flows like a new song
And I'm a drifter drifting right along
But all the dreams that I was dreaming were wrong
They drift away like so
When I'm strolling one-way streets I'd long got lost in
The row house pretty colours, how we loved them
Cobblestones once pebbled in the ground
Brittle pavement sinking in now
And the sweet charms of the old town are lost on me tonight
From the Battery the night's sinking low
Lights of the city still glow
Signal Hill and the Narrows below
Just make the past shine more
Downtown streets in their daily hustle
Past where the oaks and maples rustle
Shop windows lure with a satin sheen
Spruce budworms much on the leaves of green
All just part of the scene
Where together once we dreamed
While strolling one-way streets I'd long got lost in
The row house pretty colours, how we loved them
Cobblestones once pebbled in the ground
Brittle pavement sinking in now
And the sweet charms of the old town are lost on me tonight
Yes, the sweet charms of the old town are lost on me tonight
