I’ve walked these streets since I quite young,
Usually I’d walk them all on my own,
Sometimes I’d walk them with a hand in my palm,
Figured entwined with the one that I loved.
We sat outside your home in the moonlight,
You said, “I’ll sneak and we’ll spend some time,
Getting lost in the laughter, the sound of our smiles.”
Those nights were few but it’s then that I knew.
Spent those Idaho nights on the telephone,
Showing despite the long miles we managed to grow,
You said, “Hurry up and please come home.”
I counted each state sign until I made my way into your arms.
Our love’s been true and it’s sure been sweet,
He said, “Darling please wear this ring,
I’ll build you a house with a white picket fence.”
We’ve sung our old folk song each day since.
