Alley By The Sea

in the alley by the sea
she sat beside me
rubbed up on me
for a moment made me believe
that the truth is a lot more than what I see
burned by bombing on the big [shoe] road
walkin back to peachtree you and me
head east to the park
I’ll show you a secret
[hidden in the dark]
the best and the worst bottled for you by me
remember me when you were
my baby
my queen
my all
I caused you to stumble
I caused you to fall
thumpin down the hall
bumpin too many walls
wrapped it up one day
buried it away
if I’d known
I’d have died a different [day/way]
but broke running hard on E
for two weeks or three
wrecked the me I want you to see
the man I could be
slipped away from me
now I walk alone
in the memories of the city
embraced by we
oh oh oh
naked exposed
so the story goes
bye baby
I’ll let you sleep my sweet
I’ll let you sleep my sweet
you’re with me
in every
heartbeat and harmony
melody and memory
