She went to her brothers, got a little bar work 
He went to the buttery, stayed about a year 
Then he wrote a letter, said I want to see you 
She thought he sounded better, she sent him up the fare 
He was riding through the cane, in the pouring rain 
On Olympic, to her door, to her door 
To her door, to her door 
  (And his heart was singing like a low down guitar...)

Walking in slow motion, like he'd just been hit

Did they have a future, would he know his children? 
Could he make a picture, and get them all to fit? 
He was shaking in his seat, riding through the street 
In a Silvertop, to her 
Shaking in his seat, riding through the street 
In a Silvertop, to her door
