Elizabeth

catie curtis  2000

I talk to you on the telephone
At least two times a day
From hotels and truck stops
When Ive been too long gone away
And I can see Cincinnati
From the Kentucky side
Though I cant walk between them
When I look out on the night

I see a slow train crossing the bridge
Over the Ohio River
She bends and she winds and shes taking her time
But nobody can stop her
From headlights through all 92 box cars
She will not rest
And so too, I move toward you
My love Elizabeth

You know I must be traveling
You know thats who I am
You knew it when you met me
And you knew it when we wed
Id do anything to ease you now
You say baby just hold on
Lets try a little patience
This longings gonna make us strong

And theres a slow train crossing the bridge
Over the Ohio River
She bends and she winds and shes taking her time
But nobody can stop her
From midnight through all hours til the morning
She wont rest
And so too, I move toward you
My love Elizabeth

Steady and strong
On and on
My love
