The Woman Weathered His Note-Nw
In a storybook long long ago
The pages filled with her and her tears
Boy meets a girl in San Diego
At a lowly crossroad of theirs
Like tumbleweeds blowing in the wind
Both walking aimlessly along
With no destination in mind
Yet whistling on the same sad song
Two hobos hitching a ride on a train
Like two ships passing in the dark
Are united in the nomadic terrain
Where their anchors touch, there's a spark
Both twenty somethings, lost and found
Share that ride in box cars across the state
Where their love grew they pledged to be bound
Only thing stopping them is bad fate
As the train cut thru America pie
She awoke one morning and he was gone
Her heart broken she began to cry
Her picnic red anted, and played on
,
She cried on a shoulder that wasn't there
And made her way home to start anew
She finished law school on a prayer
She weathered the storm the best she could do
Sad to say she received a note from him
Sorry I needed to stretch my wings, girl
And athough her life sad and grim
She held back that his baby girl was a pearl
