She must have a reason To brush against the frost With a dirty sheepskin parka Her tingling fingers crossed The sun has just peeked over The road to Middledell The millside crusting waterfall Is pouring down to hell No one sees her leaving Cept the kids at Johnston Prep Building mangled snowmen Casting cinders on the step The metal shop is empty There's no one there to meet She must have a reason That she's walking in the street The Baxter Dairy payphone Hasn't rung in years Used only by the Laundromat Or loggers buying beer But on this icy morning With no one there to tell She's running toward the payphone She hears the ringing bell Oh the storefront windows glazing On this village turning gray All of my friends adventuring In cities far away Mama knows I'm needed The bin is low on coal I wish it was enough for me To feast on glances I stole The molded black receiver Cradled to her cheek A crackle voice upon the wire She strains to hear it speak She nods her head reluctantly Says "yes" then "I don't know." Her boots drip on the doormat Caked with melting snow She scribbles with a pencil On an ad for pesticide A single name and number She's not going back inside. No not going back inside Not going back
