…… There was a pretty girl From some small suburb of Dallas And she came up to New York with a dream In the confusion and the noise All of her beauty and her poise Turned grey like snow beside the city street She met a boy named Steven They made love in his apartment In a second story walk up out in Queens And the things she hoped to find Beneath him on that August night Was the farthest thing from her As she dressed to leave So she hides her eyes Says a slow goodbye Swears by the morning light she'll be fine At a wedding in Connecticut The mother of the bride They dreams about her husband who just past As stands to give her toast She says the only thing i know Is when you find a love thats worth it Make it last So she chokes back the tears And speaks of all her daughters years Thirty christmas' of memories that she keeps And the speech was silent sweet She kisses guests as they all leave Then heads of to her hotel room to eat So she bides her time And says a slow goodbye Swears by the morning light she'll be fine Yeah she hides her eyes Though its hard some nights She'll take her own sweet time and she'll be fine A welder who spent twenty years Working in an auto plant Gets late off on a thursday afternoon And he grips the fourty-five Thats rests in the glove box when he drives Then puts the gun away and wonders what to do So he parks in his driveway And head against the steering wheel And tries to think what to tell his wife And in the kitchen he explains And swears they'll be okay She says you're the only i need in this life So he bides his time And says a slow goodbye Swears by the morning light he'll be fine Yeah she hides his eyes Though its hard some nights He'll take his own sweet time and he'll be fine
