Elizabeth-Catie Curtis

I talk to you on the telephone At least two times a day From hotels and truck stops When I've been too long gone away And I can see Cincinnati From the Kentucky side Though I can't walk between them When I look out on the night I see a slow train crossing the bridge Over the Ohio river She bends and she winds and she's taking her time But nobody can stop her From headlights through all ninety two box cars She will not rest And so too, I move toward you My love, Elizabeth You know I must be traveling You know that's who I am You knew it when you met me And you knew it when we wed I'd do anything to ease you now You say, "Baby just hold on Let's try a little patience This longing's gonna make us strong" And there's a slow train crossing the bridge Over the Ohio river She bends and she winds and she's taking her time But nobody can stop her From midnight through all hours 'till the morning She won't rest And so too, I move toward you My love, Elizabeth Steady and strong On and on My love
