I've been walking the streets in despair.

2.Strophe:
There's a night when you close your eyes

baby I leave you the lines in my palm. 
No darkness will get you, no heart will desert you, 
nothing can hurt you or do you any harm.

2.Strophe:
  
There was a girl on Cinnamon Street,
the same age as me, we shared the curiosity.

But it all remained the same 
cos things can never change

life was a lazy rest in the sun.

3.Strophe:
I say goodbye to Cinnamon Street.
Springtime is here and the air is so dry and sweet.
I walk in a cloud, the smell of cinnamon bread,
it's in my blood since the day I was born 
'til I wake up... dead. 
And the sun is smiling gently, a funny shade of red,

Refrain:
              A
on Cinnamon Street.
