Noctifer Birmingham Songtext
i had to stop and catch my breath

when the telephone rang out as loud as death

it was three in the morning

there was a low drone of katydids behind your voice

when i came down from harrisburg pennsylvania
and i saw you by the highway



you asked me if the north was alright

and i said it got kind of cold at night

i could feel your bones shivering way down there in birmingham

and when i came down from harrisburg pennsylvania

and i saw you by the highway



you reminded me of all the things you'd given up forever

and you asked about the children
and you asked about the weather

and then i came down from harrisburg pennsylvania

and i saw you by the highway
