Turn 'round don't keep running straight out the door
You're caught between a rock and somethin'
hurtin' at the core

You jumped the wire and headed down on old Montgomery lane
You were halfway home to heaven child when you heard that voice again

She said, always keep me close
even cross a distant sea
One more thing, before i go
don't you forget to miss me

She said she's gonna make it back,
could be any day
It's not so much the waiting
as not knowing what to say

Trouble came to tear him down,
laid his plans to waste
Thoughts of her keep comin' strong
It's a feeling he can taste

He sent her words as sweet as wine
and stars on a full moon night
She sent him kisses soft as rain
all bathed in a summers light

The day drew near
when they would meet,
she rose two hours fore dawn
She tried so hard not to cry but now the tears had come
