Lyrics 4th and Broadway - The American Scene

4th and Broadway

Keeping track of time
At Fourth and Broadway
And I’ve been waiting 26 years
For someone to tell me that I’m,
That I’m not really gonna die this time
And why it’s only ever hard for me to change
When I really want to
I couldn’t call you, so I was smoking
Cigarettes on our front porch last night
I was thinking about the night we
Sat in my car at the Berkeley Marina
And we talked each other down,
And we talked each other down
Calm and careful
Sleeping off you leaving
And I’ve been numbering the days
This one’s dragging on and on
And what I’m trying here to say is
I’m not quite as suited to taking care of me
As I try to make it seem
When you’re around
I couldn’t call you, so I was smoking
Cigarettes on our front porch last night
I was thinking about the night we
Sat in my car at the Berkeley Marina
And we talked each other down,
And we talked each other down
Keeping track of time
In the same place I was last night
In the same place I was, in the same place I was…
Keeping track of time
In the same place I was last night
In the same place I was, in the same place I was…
I couldn’t call you, so I was smoking
Cigarettes on our front porch last night
I was thinking about the night we
Sat in my car at the Berkeley Marina
And we talked each other down,
And we talked each other down
