As large as life she stood there
Kissed my cheek and called my old nickname
And though several years had passed
Both of us still looked quite the same
I said Hi, relaxed a bit then asked her how she’d been all these years
She told me she was feeling fine and came to see a friend who lived up
here
She told me she had finished school
And then went on to college for a year
I asked if she had married
And slowly down her cheek there came a tear
She said just an itchy eye it must be the weather way up here
Told her I can’t stand the cold
It freezes me and I can’t feel my ears
We talked a bit about Mobile
And thought about how it has never changed
I told her I was comin’ home to spend some time
And hoped it wouldn’t rain
She asked if she could see me then
And we could spend some time now and then
Because I lived so far away
Was still no chance why we could not be friends
I drove her to the waiting plane
And watched that big jet streaking through the sky
Thought about the sad young girl
And the time that I just saw her cry
That flame must still be burning bright
I think I’ll catch a later flight today
It’s time for me to go on home and spend a day or two down by the bay
