As large as life she stood there

Kissed my cheek and called my old nickname

And though several years had passed

Both of us still looked quite the same

I said Hi, relaxed a bit then asked her how she'd been all these years

She told me she was feeling fine and came to see a friend who lived up here

She told me she had finished school

And then went on to college for a year

I asked if she had married

And slowly down her cheek there came a tear

She said just an itchy eye it must be the weather way up here

Told her I can't stand the cold

It freezes me and I can't feel my ears

We talked a bit about Mobile

And thought about how it has never changed

I told her I was comin' home to spend some time

And hoped it wouldn't rain

She asked if she could see me then

And we could spend some time now and then

Because I lived so far away

Was still no chance why we could not be friends

I drove her to the waiting plane

And watched that big jet streaking through the sky

Thought about the sad young girl

And the time that I just saw her cry

That flame must still be burning bright

I think I'll catch a later flight today

It's time for me to go on home and spend a day or two down by the bay
