Avenue Of Hope Lyrics

Along the avenue of hope

The footsteps falter, the fingers grope

and days, stretch out, beneath the sun

No-one's born, and no-one dies, no-one lives, so no-one cries

and we wait to see just what we will become

Don't let me falter, don't let me ride

Don't let the earth in me subside

Let me see just who I will become

You're like the clouds in my home town

You just grow fat and hang around

and you're days stretch out beneath the sun

and you don't live, you don't die, you don't love so you don't cry

and we wait, to see just what we will become

Don't let me borrow, don't let me bring

Don't let me wallow, don't make me sing

Let me see just who I will become

Don't let me falter, don't let me hide

Don't let someone else decide

Just who or what I will become

Don't let them borrow, don't let them bring

Don't let them wallow, don't make them sing

Along the avenue of hope

the footsteps falter, the fingers grope

& the days, stretch out, beneath the sun.

No-one's born, no-one dies, no-one loves, so no-one cries

& we wait to see just, what we will become

Don't let me falter, don't let me ride

Don't let the earth in me subside

Let me see just who I will become

You're like the clouds in my home town

You just grow fat & hang around

& your days stretch out beneath the sun

& no-one's born, & no-one dies, no-one loves, so no-one cries

& we wait to see just, what we will become

Don't let me borrow, don't let me bring

Don't let me wallow, don't make me sing

Let me see just, who I will become

Don't let me falter, don't let me hide

Don't let someone else decide

Just who or what, I will become

Don't make 'em borrow, don't make 'em bring

Don't let them wallow, don't let them sing

let them stretch out, beneath the sun.

Along the Avenue of Hope

the footsteps falter, the fingers grope

& your days, stretch out, beneath the sun.

No-one's born, no-one dies, no-one loves, so no-one cries

& we wait to see just what, we will become

Don't let me falter, don't let me ride

Don't let the earth in me subside

Let me stretch out, beneath the sun

You're like the clouds in my home town

You just grow fat & hang around

& your days, stretch out, beneath the sun

no-one's born, no-one dies, no-one loves, so no-one cries

& we wait to see just what, we will become

Don't let me falter, don't let me ride

Don't let the earth in me subside

Let me see what I, will become

Don't let me borrow, don't let me bring

Don't let me wallow, don't make me sing

Let me stretch out, beneath the sun

Don't let me falter, don't let me ride

Don't let the earth in me subside

Let me see what I, will become
