SUZANNE VEGA LYRICS - Ludlow Street

"Ludlow Street"



Love is the only thing that matters.

Love is the only thing that's real.

I know we hear this every day.

It's still the hardest thing to feel.



This time

When I go back to Ludlow Street,

I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete,

Without you there.



Another generation's parties.

And it is still the same old scene.

I can recall each morning after.

Painted in nicotene.



This time

When I go back to Ludlow Street,

I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete

Without you there.



All of the people I once knew.

All of the ones I was close to.



Love is the only thing that matters.

Love the only thing that's real,

And when I think about you now

Love is the only thing I feel.



This time

When I go back to Ludlow Street,

I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete

Without you there.



Tim, this time

When I go back to Ludlow Street

I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete

Without you there.
