Jeanette was a dancer
I suppose I knew her well
Her feet danced miracles
I was deep within her spell
Jeanette loved a singer
He was the leader of some band
Looked just like a boy
And stood just like a man
And it rains on down deep the avenue
Yes it rains on down deep the avenue
Just for you boy
Just for you boy
The kids in the back street cry
Their voices in your brain
The world is full of hungry souls
Behind the window pane
Little Jenny on the high wire
Slow motion as she fell
Sometimes I think the wire is me
The tragedy as well
And it rains on down deep the avenue
Oh yes it rains on down deep the avenue
Just for you boy
Just for you boy
Just for you
I work on the west side
Jeanette I pulled your strings
I stood upon the pavement
I never owned a thing
And still I am the singer
I know my songs so well
The rain falls through my eyes
And lands below the shell
And it rains on down deep the avenue
Yes it rains on down deep the avenue
Just for you boy
Just for you boy
Just for you boy…
