Lyrics

203 © 2005 Kaplan

The girl in the coffee shop brings me my tea
Before I’ve even walked through the door
And I set down my book to take in the sound
That sings from a local guitar

And it’s all right now
Just three more hours
Until I see you again

I let my head play with the missing of you
A gentle, unforgiving bit of spar
The time of the year is a withering gale
And everyone gets crazy from the cold

And it’s all right now
Just two more hours
Until I see you again

As the road bends south under lake-colored skies
Searching for the eyes of a doe
Among the signs that you’re nearer to home
Warmer at mile 203

The girl in the coffee shop refills my tea
As an offer to ease me of the wait
And I asked, “How did you know that my breath had been held?”
She said, “Everyone gets crazy from the cold.”

And it’s all right now
Just one more hour
Until I meet you here

And it’s all right now
Just one more hour
Until I see you again
