[Verse 1]
She said you were in the basement
When I knocked upon the door
That August afternoon

[Verse 2]
Through the kitchen, down the stairs
I found you waiting there
Your hair had grown

[Chorus]
On Hazel Street
On Hazel Street
On Hazel Street

[Verse 3]
Colored blankets for your walls
A dirty bed upon the floor
You were not mine

[Verse 4]
Then the girl called down to you
I had a feeling that you knew
I'd be the one to see you through

[Chorus]
On Hazel Street
On Hazel Street
On Hazel Street
[Verse 5]
Late that night, behind the bar
We surely knew how to play the part of lovers
It was nothing new

[Verse 6]
I woke up drunk on that basement floor
And then you asked how I would read the score
You asked me to marry you

[Chorus]
On Hazel Street
On Hazel Street
On Hazel Street

[Verse 7]
I headed south on Highway 5
My head was pounding, I was bleary eyed
That August afternoon

[Verse 8]
You went and broke the young girl's heart
You said we'd have a brand new start
I'd be the one to see you through

[Outro]
Be the one to see you through
Be the one to see you through
