john montague - all legendary obstacles lyrics

Loading...

all legendary obstacles lay between
us, the long imaginary plain
the monstrous ruck of mountains
and, swinging across the night
flooding the sacramento, san joaquin
the hissing drift of winter rain

all day i waited, shifting
nervously from station to bar
as i saw another train sail
by, the san francisco chief or
golden gate, water dripping
from great fl+ng+d wheels

at midnight you came, pale
above the negro porter’s lamp
i was too blind with rain
and doubt to speak, but
reached from the platform
until our chilled hands met

you had been travelling for days
with an old lady, who marked
a neat circle on the glass
with her glove, to watch us
move into the wet darkness
kissing, still unable to speak

- john montague lyrics
