You crossed my mind again today, I was out to get the mail

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 ought to know And you told me how hard 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



I think about that summer night when you said you'd always care

I think about this lonely life when your words turn cold in the air

And now the winter's almost here



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
