Lovers Lane by Michael Stanley
Lovers Lane
[Intro]
G G G G
[Verse]
G
She used to be a dancer,
G
He used to be the man
Em C
But now they seem to settle
G
For anything they can
G
And their children all have scattered
G
Far across the fruited plain
Em C
Left behind a silence
G
That they just can't put away...
G
So she gave herself to Jesus
G
And that lasted 'bout a year
Em C
While he thought about that waitress
G
And cracked another beer...
G
And all that quiet resignation
G
Seemed like all they had to share
Em C
They keep moving' round each other
G
Like they ain't even there...
[Chorus]
D C
What about that moonlight
G
What about that kiss
D C
How did all those velvet nights
G
End up here like this
D C
And though the world keeps beatin' on 'em
Em C
Ya know they might go through it all again
G
All for one more night
D C G
Back on Lovers Lane...
[Verse]
G
He tried to be a good provider
G
He was a diehard union man
Em C
But then the union told the rank and file
G
Boys, we've done all that we can
G
And so she watched him slowly vanish
G
Just like a shadow going down
Em C
You break the spirit of a working man
G
Might as well, might as well put him in the ground...
[Chorus]
D C
What about that moonlight, tell me
G
What about that kiss
D C
How did all those velvet nights
G
End up here like this
D C
And though the world keeps beatin' on 'em
Em C
Ya know they might go through it all again
G
All for one more night
D C G
Back on Lovers Lane...

[Verse]
G
And when you take too much for granted
G
Pretty soon you find it gone
Em C
Like where did all the years go
G
And what the hell went on
G
And there's a hole deep in the country
G
And we're all listed day to day
Em C
Used to fill that hole with dreams now
G
Seems it all just slipped away...
[Chorus]
D C
What about that moonlight, tell me
G
What about that kiss
D C
How did all those velvet nights
G
End up here like this
D C
And though the world keeps beatin' on 'em
Em C
Ya know they might go through it all again
G
All for one more night
[Outro]
D C G
Back on Lovers Lane..
