  • With the luxury of hindsight
    The past becomes so clear
    As I look out on the twilight
    My days have become years
    It's strange, as people we're prone to dwell
    On things that we can't undo
    And we're liable to wander down
    If only avenue

    In the company of distance
    We see where it all went wrong
    And we know what we'd do different
    Should the chance come along
    But change is easier said than done
    It's a difficult thing to do and soon
    You'll be taking the next right on
    If only avenue

    If only
    You hadn't used up all your excuses
    Now there's nobody else to blame
    And that's when they call your name

    It's down at the end of lonely street
    Neath a moon that keeps shining blue
    And we live with our thoughts alone
    If only avenue
    Oh why have I wandered down
    If only avenue Writer/s: Ron Sexsmith
