That's the chord, that's the note that I recall
Recall and succumb to it's charm
And those times and those lines full of bold intentions
They lift right off that page
And these streets that I walk they seem so familiar
Over your bridge, under bougainvillea
That's OK, that's alright
You pull down those shades with no apology
I feel the heat of the sun as it melts the pavement
All down along Charlotte Street
And those rhymes and those chimes as you stand and deliver
They float me away on your winding river
Was there anything I could have done?
And I'll save
For what it's worth I'll save it all
And these streets that I walk they seem so familiar
Over your bridge, under bougainvillea
And my heart it sank like a stone
When I heard you were in there, in there all alone
Was there anything I could have done?
