|
i had to stop and catch my breath |
|
when the telephone rang out as loud as death |
|
it was three in the morning |
|
there was a low drone of katydids behind your voice |
|
when i came down from harrisburg pennsylvania |
|
and i saw you by the highway |
|
you asked me if the north was alright |
|
and i said it got kind of cold at night |
|
i could feel your bones shivering way down there in birmingham |
|
and when i came down from harrisburg pennsylvania |
|
and i saw you by the highway |
|
you reminded me of all the things you'd given up forever |
|
and you asked about the children |
|
and you asked about the weather |
|
and then i came down from harrisburg pennsylvania |
|
and i saw you by the highway |
