One last night…
We are apart separated by hundreds of miles
Yet we find each other close when needed
Only once more will we have to wait so long
Only once more will the road drag on forever
Soon a short drive will be welcome
South by south-west I will go often
Carrying with me my love
To hold and touch the one I adore
It has been a long walk to this point
She with me, and I with her
Sometimes holding hands,
Other times afraid to look the other in the eye
She has carried me on her back, though she was tired (and)
I have carried her on mine so she could rest
Days were our steps, months our miles
And years our destination
Yet we find each other close when needed
Only once more will we have to wait so long
Only once more will the road drag on forever
Soon a short drive will be welcome
South by south-west I will go often
Carrying with me my love
To hold and touch the one I adore
It has been a long walk to this point
She with me, and I with her
Sometimes holding hands,
Other times afraid to look the other in the eye
She has carried me on her back, though she was tired (and)
I have carried her on mine so she could rest
Days were our steps, months our miles
And years our destination
