Lyrics[]
The air was cooling down The sky was blue I was heading north on Taylor Street When I ran into you We stopped to talk Right there on the sidewalk The air was new and clean I was in between times The mountains were clearly visible And your timing was cruel You said almost everything right And your eyes shone like little jewels We were talking While the temperature dropped I was hoping against hope That the wheel would stop You were nineteen I was in between times Hey
