Lyrics:Jimmy Buffett | |
Music:Jimmy Buffett | |
As large as life she stood there | |
Kissed my cheek and called my old nickname | |
And though several years had passed | |
Both of us still looked quite the same | |
I said Hi, relaxed a bit then asked her how she'd been all these years | |
She told me she was feeling fine and came to see a friend who lived up here | |
She told me she had finished school | |
And then went on to college for a year | |
I asked if she had married | |
And slowly down her cheek there came a tear | |
She said just an itchy eye it must be the weather way up here | |
Told her I can't stand the cold | |
It freezes me and I can't feel my ears | |
We talked a bit about Mobile | |
And thought about how it has never changed | |
I told her I was comin' home to spend some time | |
And hoped it wouldn't rain | |
She asked if she could see me then | |
And we could spend some time now and then | |
Because I lived so far away | |
Was still no chance why we could not be friends | |
I drove her to the waiting plane | |
And watched that big jet streaking through the sky | |
Thought about the sad young girl | |
And the time that I just saw her cry | |
That flame must still be burning bright | |
I think I'll catch a later flight today | |
It's time for me to go on home and spend a day or two down by the bay |
