Of course I picked a rainy night

To try to find our past

The street lights all were flickering

The leaves were falling fast



I walked down the winding road

Looked up through the trees

And I saw the corner window 

That you once shared with me



It was Old College Avenue

And in the time of having you

I remember it as if it were today

The tiny room and the single bed



Though the tangled trails of time 

Have led us far astray

The membrance seems to stay

And through all the roads



That led me on 

And through all the years

That you've been gone

I have found that it would never go away



It was Old College Avenue

And in the time of having you

I remember it as if it were today

That fall turned into winter



The winter into spring

And all the while, you led me through

The sweet awakening

But summer never came that year



It's what you went to find

And you took my future with you

And you left your past behind

It was Old College Avenue



And in the time of having you

I remember it as if it were today

The tiny room and the single bed

Though the tangled trails of time



Have led us far astray

The membrance seems to stay

And through all the roads

That led me on



And through all the years

That you've been gone

I have found that it would never go away

It was Old College Avenue



And in the time of having you

I remember it as if it were today

I remember you

As if



It were

Today
