It was so late and she'd be sleeping

He came through her home town

With the moonlight on the crossroads

And the green light shining down

And the bell at the railroad crossing

And the horn from far away

And his Silver Eagle passing

Half a mile from where she lay

At his feet a sea of faces

Like the rolling waves forever massing

To crash and foam and creep away

Whisper names and fall behind

Hopes for grace and peace of mind

And he wonders if she'll ever
(G)
Come to know that he was there
