Lyrics Rickie Lee Jones - On The Street Where You Live

i have often walked
down this street before
but the pavement always stayed
beneath my feet before
all at once am i
several stories high
knowing i'm on the street where you live

are there lilac trees
in the heart of town?
can you hear a lark
in any other part of town?
does enchantment pour
out of every door?
no, it's just on the street where you live

and, oh, the towering feeling
just to know, somehow you are near
the overpowering feeling
that, any second, you may suddenly appear

people stop and stare
they don't bother me
for there's nowhere else on earth
that i would rather be
let the time go by
i don't care, if i
can be here, on the street where you live
