_____
With her brown leather purse
And her high-heeled shoes
_____
She sits on a bench on the platform
_____
And she waits for the first train that arrives
_____
His watch one spring afternoon
Don't cry, I'll come back
_____
Before the leaves fall from the willows
_____
Think of me, I'll come back for you
Your childish watch stopped
_____
On a leaden April afternoon
_____
In your garden even the last flower
_____
There isn't even one willow on Main Street
_____
Sad from so much waiting
_____
If a train whistles in the distance
_____
One after another she sees them pass
_____
She looks at their faces, she hears them talk
That the traveler returned
_____
On her green pine bench
_____
'Penelope, my faithful lover, my peace
_____
Stop weaving dreams in your mind now
_____
Look at me, I'm your love, I'm back'
_____
With eyes full of yesterday
_____
His face and skin weren't like that
_____
'You're not the one I'm waiting for'
_____
With her brown leather purse
_____
And her little high-heeled shoes
