Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was so late, and she'd be sleepin'
He came through her home town
With the moonlight on the crossroads
And the green light shinin' down
And the bell at the railroad crossin'
And the horn from far away
And his Silver Eagle passin'
Half a mile from where she lay
[Verse 2]
At his feet a sea of faces
Make devotions with their love
Clap their hands and plead their cases
Call for blessings from above
Like the rollin' waves forever massing
To crash and foam and creep away
And the Silver Eagle passin'
Half a mile from where she lay
[Verse 3]
Road signs flow into the headlights
Whisper names and fall behind
He finds some honor in the darkness
Hopes for grace and peace of mind
And he thinks of how they'd lay together
He'd run his fingers through her hair
And he wonders if she'll ever
Come to know that he was there
