Written By Marc Silver

lyrics

California Avenue

Once I was the man in three-piece suit locked in my walls
A beast in me shadowed every way I’d crawl
In my heart I knew there was no escape I had no command
I was at the whim of all the flowing winds

I left there in a fright having no idea where I’d come to land
But where I did I found myself a stranger there.
I woke up in a gutter on the cold hard curb feeling out of luck
Nothing was around just a streetlight buzzed

Passing through the alleyways & the lamp lit street of the empty town
All the vacant houses really got me down
I wandered on like an old stray dog to the ocean view
California avenue

I looked out on the road saw the sun go down over ocean
A single star was hanging with the moon
I was telling stories to the sun and rain while out on the run
A solemn soul out in the night to roam

The coolness of the night lay down a cold damp chill over the coastal road
I walked a mile my thumb held high my story goes
I left behind me all the times I’d fallen down and fell out of love
Memories out on the breeze till I am dust

Marc works as a solo artist, and with his Bluegrass/Americana Band The Stonethrowers.
