You crossed my mind again today, I was out to get the mail
And I wondered if you think of me when you're riding the rails
And I wondered if you cared at all, sometimes I don't know
And I was hoping you could write to me, from a long time ago
I had that dream again last night, we were back in Chicago
We were riding 'round and talking 'bout things you said I oughta know
And you told me how our life would be, and I'm learning that it's so
And I was hoping you could call me up at a long time ago
And I think about that summer night when you said you'd always care
And I think about this lonely life when your words turn cold in the air
And now the winter's almost here
And you know that I would write a book, but the story's seldom told
Of a fool who'd go and walk the bridge back to a long time ago
So here I'm stuck in Santa Fe in a trailer by the road
With only dreams of yesterday and a long time ago
I have only dreams of yesterday and a long time ago
