I can't hear what he sings in the second line in the second vers. I've got the first part: "A band just played a wedding march, and ? ? ? broken hearts.
you're awful bright, you're awful smart i must admit you broke my heart the awful truth is really sad i must admit i was awful bad while lovers laugh and music plays i stumble by and i hide my pain mm the lamps are lit, the moon is gone i think i've crossed the rubicon
i walk the streets of love and they're full of tears i walk the streets of love and they're full of fears
while music pumps from passing cars a couple watch me from a bar a band just played the wedding march and the corner store mends broken hearts a woman asks me for a dance oh it's free of charge - just one more chance
i walk the streets of love and they're full of tears i walk the streets of love for a thousand years
you had the moves, you had the cards i must admit you were awful smart the awful truth is awful sad i must admit i was awful bad
and i walk the streets of love for a thousand years oh i walk the streets of love and they're drenched with tears
oh everybody been talkin about it everybody been walkin out yeah but i .... ??? oh yes i do oh the streets of love
i dont mind the song, but how many times does he say awful..god it grates with me, couldnt he chosen another word...its like someone scraping there nails on a blackboard feeling.aghh
I thought it was actually the "cornerstone" mends broken hearts, not the "corner store." A cornerstone is laid in a ceremony and joins two walls in a building. I think that analogy makes more sense in the context of the verse than the corner store.
