Amy
Amy wandered aimlessly around
Got drunk by the Citadel while sitting on the ground
Brought her old film camera and a pint of cheap beer
Took pictures of the setting sun behind the Halifax pier
CHORUS
We just barely crossed paths
Not enough for me to make the journey back
She said she gotta friend down there, but don’t make it down that often
But I’ll give you a call, give you a call, if I’m headed down to Boston
Wore a salmon skirt down to her ankles
Exposing her thrifted brown oxford shoes
Balanced a sketchbook on her knees with her favorite charcoal pen
Drew the city skyline, over and over again
CHORUS
We just barely crossed paths
Not enough for me to make the journey back
She said she gotta friend down there, but don’t make it down that often
But I’ll give you a call, give you a call, if I’m headed down to Boston
Before she knew it, it was dusk
Threw her leather backpack on her shoulder and sprinted to catch her bus
Liked to soak in the headlights of the passing by cars
Pretend she was in a movie and she reached to catch the stars
CHORUS x2
We just barely crossed paths
Not enough for me to make the journey back
She said she gotta friend down there, but don’t make it down that often
But I’ll give you a call, give you a call, if I’m headed down to Boston
