(capo 8th fret)       - / - / - / -       - / - / - / 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 and look 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 memory 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 in to winter the winter into spring           - / - / - / And all the while you led me through a 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 memory 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

La chanson évoque une promenade nostalgique le long d'une avenue où des souvenirs d'un amour passé refont surface, sur fond d'une nuit pluvieuse. Le narrateur se remémore des instants simples, comme un petit chambre avec un lit unique, et le lien étroit qu'il avait avec une personne qu'il a perdue. Alors que les saisons passent, il se rend compte que malgré la distance et le temps écoulé, ces souvenirs restent vivants, ancrés dans son esprit. Le contexte de cette chanson semble être une réflexion sur la perte et la manière dont certaines moments de notre vie restent à jamais gravés, même lorsque nous avons cheminé sur des routes différentes. C'est un hommage à l'amour et aux souvenirs, mêlant mélancolie et tendresse.
