Valentina Way

Al Stewart


Find another lover tomorrow 
Go find another lover today 
You've been so long on lonely street 
That you're surely falling into decay 
It's time to reconstruct yourself 
Time to test the water again 
Well it's sad to see 
It's a tragedy 
That you're wasting away 
Look around ... tell me 
Is it really worth the price 
That you pay 
On Valentina Way 

I don't think she's ready to listen 
I don't think she wants to come back 
The atmosphere's too cold in here 
To attract a butterfly like that 
I think she took the boat-train out 
Maybe caught the night express 
She's got devious lies 
And chameleon eyes 
And she can't care less 
Oh, buy yourself a ticket 
On anything leaving today 
From Valentina Way 

Oh the rain comes down 
And shines up the stars 
Oh, the night steps out 
In streetlights and bars 
To the sounds of guitars 
Listen ...
