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...)

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
