I saw you walking on Ellington Parkway
Like a shadow striking so immense
We used to meet up on Ellington Parkway
Where the wildflowers grow along a chain-link fence
Up on the north side where the river bends
I saw you standing with your new-found friend
It wasn't that long ago we crossed the Great Divide
On Ellington Parkway we cried and cried
You told me it was nothing just happenstance
But it looked to me like a better chance
I gave you everything, everything I had to give
But sometimes all you got is not enough to live
Up on the north side where the river bends
I saw you walking with your new-found friend
It wasn't that long ago we crossed that Great Divide
On Ellington Parkway we cried and cried
Never cried for the nameless
Never cried for the chief
Never cried for the hungry that can't get no relief
After ten long years my tears are overdue
But they're all used up now crying over you
I see you walking on Ellington Parkway still
Up on the high side of Cumberland Hill
When the moon reflects just right on that dead-end road
And I weighed down by that cumbersome load
Up on the north side where the river bends
That's where our story was supposed to end
For you and for me now everything is gone
But Ellington Parkway goes on and on
Ellington Parkway
Ellington Parkway hey
Ellington Parkway
Ellington Parkway hey
