[00:14.04] | There was a pretty girl |
[00:17.08] | From some small suburb of Dallas |
[00:20.87] | And she came up to New York with a dream |
[00:27.13] | In the confusion and the noise |
[00:30.51] | All of her beauty and her poise |
[00:34.15] | Turned grey like snow beside the city street |
[00:41.06] | She met a boy named Steven |
[00:44.04] | They made love in his apartment |
[00:47.96] | In a second story walk up out in Queens |
[00:54.47] | And the things she hoped to find |
[00:57.67] | Beneath him on that August night |
[01:01.50] | Was the farthest thing from her |
[01:04.23] | As she dressed to leave |
[01:07.91] | So she hides her eyes |
[01:13.41] | Says a slow goodbye |
[01:18.11] | Swears by the morning light she'll be fine |
[01:25.44] | At a wedding in Connecticut |
[01:29.17] | The mother of the bride |
[01:32.44] | They dreams about her husband who just past |
[01:39.11] | As stands to give her toast |
[01:41.93] | She says the only thing i know |
[01:45.67] | Is when you find a love thats worth it |
[01:49.06] | Make it last |
[01:53.05] | So she chokes back the tears |
[01:55.67] | And speaks of all her daughters years |
[01:59.12] | Thirty christmas' of memories that she keeps |
[02:05.99] | And the speech was silent sweet |
[02:09.26] | She kisses guests as they all leave |
[02:13.30] | Then heads of to her hotel room to eat |
[02:19.61] | So she bides her time |
[02:25.17] | And says a slow goodbye |
[02:29.81] | Swears by the morning light she'll be fine |
[02:37.37] | Yeah she hides her eyes |
[02:42.38] | Though its hard some nights |
[02:47.28] | She'll take her own sweet time and she'll be fine |
[03:21.80] | A welder who spent twenty years |
[03:25.33] | Working in an auto plant |
[03:28.30] | Gets late off on a thursday afternoon |
[03:34.85] | And he grips the fourty-five |
[03:38.09] | Thats rests in the glove box when he drives |
[03:41.91] | Then puts the gun away and wonders what to do |
[03:49.14] | So he parks in his driveway |
[03:52.12] | And head against the steering wheel |
[03:55.55] | And tries to think what to tell his wife |
[04:02.43] | And in the kitchen he explains |
[04:05.75] | And swears they'll be okay |
[04:08.89] | She says you're the only i need in this life |
[04:15.69] | So he bides his time |
[04:21.09] | And says a slow goodbye |
[04:25.84] | Swears by the morning light he'll be fine |
[04:32.84] | Yeah she hides his eyes |
[04:38.25] | Though its hard some nights |
[04:43.44] | He'll take his own sweet time and he'll be fine |
