Dave Peverett - Riff Bros Music - ASCAP

Remember me, you were a friend of mine,
Restless and young, I'm the one you made love to for the first time
Now look at you, what you been up to, since I saw you last?
Your hair's a mess, you're half-dressed, you're loaded and you're fadin' fast
All the dreams, you had of wealth and fame,
You took to the city, what a shame, they're all shattered, now your heart's in pain
Makin love for a livin', you've given up, all you've got's a heart of stone
Makin' the most of a sad situation, Paradise Alley's your home
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone,
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah
Lookin' back, I still recall the time,
I wonder how in the world was it so easy to be so unkind
Will you be sorry when you realize the story has to end this way?
Lost in the night, never quite getting used to all the games they play
You wait in vain, and your heart's in pain,
And dreams are all you have to hold on to
You're losin' touch and it hurts so much,
To think of all the love I had for you
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone,
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah

Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home
Paradise Alley, what a place to call your home,
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone, yeah
