about

Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley CA.

lyrics

The Avenue’s a river
I have watched it for years
as it flowed and ebbed
as it reveled as it hid
its aching need

Beauty like a flower
Fragile as a flower
child grown old
She’s reaching out
to strangers for love
because there’s no one else to hold

(chorus)
The way this river flows
You just hold on
with all your might
It's dangerous and beautiful
Raging rich with life

The avenue’s a river
With predators and safe shore
The ave is a late night friend who welcomes me
when no one’s home

Flocks of tattooed children
Land upon this shore
To rest their wings
by the riverbank
When there’s nothing else so sure

(chorus)
The way this river flows
You just hold on
with all your might
It's dangerous and beautiful
And raging rich with life

(bridge)
We’re swimming
fighting our way upstream
for a reason that no one knows
when at last we find our way
maybe we can return to the ocean

The avenue flows out around
the light the dark so intermingled
this river made me the way I am
and carved me like a stone

Some they walk so quickly by
That they miss the fortune tellers
when you look into their faces
won’t you read between the lines

The way this river flows
You just hold on
with all your might
It's dangerous and beautiful
And raging rich with life
