Christine Fellows - Souvenirs lyrics

Hazard lights at rush hour blinking back those years And wonder how you got here The silver pa**, so close These souvenirs betray you Absent warnings nailed to hydro poles Crosswords hidden in the landscape This place you almost call home Could you bring me back a cardinal, From Kentucky or that blue-eyed dove That followed you from Texas This time, they might be enough Travel time follows the stop clock In the dashboard. Stop the car If you can't bridge the distance, Then tell me who can These souvenirs will weigh upon you ‘Til you find something for everyone, Could you bring me back a cardinal, From Kentucky or that blue-eyed dove That followed you from Texas This time, they might be enough Could you bring me back a coin rubbed smooth And run over by a pa**ing truck? Could you call me when you're overhead So I can run out to the front lawn and wave you on?
