Standing On the Street of Early Sorrows - Paul Kelly

It was just a quarter-mile

To your house in Kensington

It was always ninety-five degrees

Hey, Julie

Hey, Julie

Walking to the swimming pool

February, back to school

All that summer, you were cool

Hey, Julie

Hey, Julie

I’m standing

Standing on the street of early sorrows

Standing

Standing on the street of early sorrows

You never know just what you’ve lost

Until it’s yours and then it’s dust

But you remain and never rust

Hey, Julie

Hey, Julie

I’m standing

Standing on the street of early sorrows

Standing

Standing on the street of early sorrows

Yeah

Standing on the street of early sorrows

Yeah, standing

Standing on the street of early sorrows

Mmm

Standing on the street of early sorrows

Standing, standing
