Noctifer Birmingham Lyrics

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
