It must have been our crooked start that chipped me out of place[00:00:00]
And that put me on a train to who knows where[00:00:06]
But looking out the window with the weight of my disgrace[00:00:12]
Looking for what[00:00:18]
I didn't care[00:00:20]
But the little town was greater and old just like bethlehem[00:00:24]
I said[00:00:31]
I'll stop right where I am[00:00:32]
Bellingham[00:00:34]
And standing at the station[00:00:47]
A stranger in the rain[00:01:01]
She was calling out a name that wasn't mine[00:01:03]
She grabbed me by the shoulders[00:01:10]
And I shuddered in surprise[00:01:12]
But she seemed to recognize me alright[00:01:15]
And maybe I believed that she was there looking for me[00:01:21]
And maybe I just wanted to be found[00:01:27]
But I didn't try to clarify[00:01:33]
No[00:01:36]
I just let her leave[00:01:36]
And she closed the trunk and drove me to her house[00:01:39]
She'd been waiting for so long[00:01:45]
She said[00:01:48]
Oh[00:01:48]
I knew that you would come[00:01:49]
But she knows not who I am[00:01:52]
Bellingham[00:01:58]
The whole town dreamed of steamer fleets[00:02:19]
The sultry August day[00:02:22]
When the first ship cleared the panama canal[00:02:24]
For the shipping lanes would mend and change their fortunes and their fates[00:02:30]
Well[00:02:36]
I'm glad that they can't see what I see now[00:02:36]
For there's rubble and driftwood[00:02:42]
Where they pulled their dimes to pay for the most majestic dock in the pugid sound[00:02:45]
And when they cut the ribbon[00:02:54]
The county brass band played[00:02:57]
What a sad moment it seems they struck up now[00:02:59]
No one ever could say why[00:03:06]
But oh[00:03:08]
The ships just passed on by[00:03:09]
And they still don't understand[00:03:13]
And how long did I think I could keep up the masquerade[00:03:16]
And how much did she know it was a lie[00:03:22]
When every bond I'd ever made[00:03:27]
I'd broken or betrayed[00:03:30]
What made me think that I could step into a life that wasn't mine[00:03:32]
I wrote a note and slipped away[00:03:39]
It said[00:03:42]
Oh[00:03:42]
I just can't explain[00:03:43]
But it's all been a show[00:03:46]
Bellingham[00:03:49]
