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