I met a little girl and I settled down
In a little house out on the edge of town
We got married, we swore we'd never part
Then little by little we drifted from each other's heart

At first i thought it was just restlessness
That would fade as time went by and our love grew deep
But in the end there was more I guess
That tore us apart and made us weep

I'm riding a stolen bike
Up and down Damen Avenue
Each night I wait to get caught
But I never do

She asked if I remembered those letters I wrote
When our love was young and bold
She said last night she read those letters
And they made her feel one hundred years old

I'm riding a stolen bike
On a pitch black night
I keep telling myself it's gonna be alright
But I ride by night and I travel in fear
That in this darkness I will disappear
