lyrics

We took a bus from Washington to NYC
The day was cold the sky looked grey the trees looked pretty
You tried to sleep as I sat looking out the window
I see the snowploughs moving in the opposite lane
I see the way my breath mists up the window pane
I think about you how you only bring me sorrow
I love the way you move your hands when you are speaking
Love your smile I hate that you’re not smiling at me
I even love the way you smoke your cigarette
But I’m your friend I am not your reason to be
I wonder how your indifference can be another man’s need
I think these things and wish that we had never met
Oh Susquehanna Susquehanna river
Carry me carry me from here
We make a stop at Baltimore and we leave the bus and we get some coffee
I want all of the people to think we’re together
I want to cry out to you I want to tell you the truth I’m afraid that you’ll give me your pity
So instead I pass comment on the weather
The lights grow dark as towns slip by the lights the people
Catching glimpses of families through lighted windows
I look away because I know I don’t belong
We travel on past farms motels Jack’s Susquehanna
And just like him I'm a lonesome traveller
And like the river I must move on
