Lyrics

--intro

lord I was born on Crooked Street
like an arrow
straight and narrow
was I once young
or am I wrong
so many sunsets
going down for so long

I fell in love on Crooked Street
first the feeling
then the healing
time goes by
I don't ask why
love put the world in my hand

--blow

now I'm alone on Crooked Street
living with me
a loving memory
children play
the day away
visions of
--once--
as a mighty long time

one day I'll die on Crooked Street
I'll go in season
for no reason
tracks I've made
shall surely fade
will I return again
