lyrics

I rode a train through the winter landscape

sleepy towns, churches and frozen lakes

when I got to your place I saw the changes

how your garden was overgrown with weeds


your face was pale in the light of day

you looked so frail beside the willow tree


pretty pictures spread out on the table

in your time they made you a beauty queen

then your man was shot in the trenches

and you withered fast on your trail of tears


you wanted to share a story with me

one I'd remember over the years


it happened in 1949

a lost little girl knocked on your door

you gave her food and she stayed forever

now you had someone to care for


when the time came for me to leave

you shivered and whispered farewell in my ear


and your story stayed with me
