Elizabeth

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
