lyrics

Bones Of The Boulevard © Jim Ballard 2018

On the pavement where the sidewalk starts
In the doorway of a thousand hearts
The stories and the mem’ries still linger on
Somethin’ that you just can’t put your finger on
The pulse in the veins of the bones of the boulevard

There are footsteps like ghosts in the wind
And the whisperin’ like voices of your kin
watchin from the rooftops watchin from the street
While the underground rises to the bottoms of your feet
Don’t have to look too hard to find the bones of the boulevard

And its human hearts dreams and hope
Mortar and brick and steel and rope
And its stone
on stone
on stone
on the bones
Bones of the boulevard

If the threadbare shopworn walls could tell
All the stories and the lives that they know so well
People in the trolleys and the curbside crawl
The singers and the drummers in the music hall
Gonna roll it all
On the bones of the boulevard
