Alleyways

I'll take the alleyway today No need for streets They just compete with other people Walking side by side on sidewalks With their clocks all ticking simultaneously That's where I'll be Stick to the alleyway with me There is a way Another way to go and I'll take it A secret way Some people know about but know one ever sees You will find it if your heart is open And I'm hoping it will lead you straight to me Fast or slow Take the shortcuts and side roads Pay no mind to the signs or highway lines We'll get there our way I'll take the train tracks there The ones that run behind the houses down on Pine Street Traveling side by side like lovers Never crossing one another so to speak And I would walk these tracks forever Even if the weather doesn't change in weeks And though we were deserving long ago it doesn't hurt to notice I'm free Fast or slow Take the shortcuts and side roads Pay no mind to the signs or highway lines We'll get there our way Fast or slow Take the shortcuts and side roads Pay no mind to the signs or highway lines We'll get there our way
