Wishing they were warm inside, as they breathe into their fists

Dividing up the avenues, I walk to give away the blues and take away the day
I walk to give away the blues and take the day away

Dear Moderator,
Thanks for your kind help. That’s the lyric of American country song named” Chicago”. And above is the full context of the lyric.
I think the writer said he was blue and walking on the street in the winter of Chicago and he parted with a lady.

Hello!
Just a guess for the glass and steel.

Maybe it's those glass and steel buildings that "divise" the avenues, well actually make them.
"make no contact with my eyes": if the walls of the buildings are made of glass, it's very easy to make contact with your own eyes in that kind of mirror. It's even often a kind of reflex to look at your reflection. But here, it seems he's only looking for her.
