It's funny how our lives are like a prize fight
One day you're up and then you get knocked down
But I have learned the hurt can end
We can come up smelling like a rose again

Blue Street is a place that's in my past now
A few blocks down, but not too far away
It's time to take another turn
Go to a place where memories won't burn

'Cause there's a signpost hanging over the horizon
Waiting for me like an open door
I don't wanna walk down Blue Street, I've been there before
I don't wanna see her broken, lonely eyes no more
I don't wanna walk down Blue Street, I've been there before
I don't wanna see her broken, lonely eyes no more

I'm walking down the Avenue of Peace, now
I'm not swaying from the course I take
Lilywhite the flowers bloom
The sun is guiding every move I make

I'm not thinking of that old and lonesome Blue Street
It's a few blocks down, but not too far away
Time has come to take another turn
And leave her in the past to die and burn

'Cause there's a signpost hanging over the horizon
Waiting for me like an open door
I don't wanna walk down Blue Street, I've been there before
I don't wanna see her broken, lonely eyes no more
And I don't wanna walk down Blue Street, I've been there before
I don't wanna see her broken, lonely eyes no more
And I don't wanna walk down Blue Street, I've been there before
I don't wanna see her broken, lonely eyes no more

 1971年の大阪,Chuck Winfield (tp)とDick Halligan (Keyboards)もサインしてくれたのだが,ボクは ディック・ハリガンに対して間違って ルー・ソロフ(tp)のページを開いて出してしまい,なんとも苦い顔をされたのを思い出す........
