I was working up to you
call it my Ohio interlude
waking with the river, rising with the dew
we’ve all been waiting to feel you
I’m not much of a lover
but I am willing to pay for company
hold me all night
warm me like a fireside
I’ve been sent nothing but old letters to read
the pony express got caught in a foreign stampede
I am a widow while you’re off to war
so I speak to your pictures and sleep in your clothes
I’m not much of a lover
but I am willing to pay for company
hold me all night
warm me like a fireside
God where, covered mountains, wounded passion lies down
In which field, fire a flare, has my great lover gone
I’m not much of a lover
but I am willing to pay for company
