She waited by the moon
She was sick with fear and cold
She felt too old for all of this

Of course she never showed
She lugged her suitcase to the bus
Melted home through the snow

North along riverside

She slips beneath the sheets

A husbands quiet devoted wife
But strangers sad and nervous
By the dawns early light

Loves lies like a dead cloud
On a shabby, yellow lawn
Up on riverside


She'll drive the big car
He'll sit behind

She'll keep an eye on Jessica
South along the Hudson


She'll turn the radio high
Find a station playing sad, sad soul
Just a little bit louder now

South along the Hudson yea

Just a little bit faster now

Just a little bit louder now
Just a little bit angry now
South along the Hudson, yea


And she'll drive the big car
And talk herself insane

Just a little bit louder now
Just a little bit angry now


Way back when Millennium
Meant racing to the light
He promised her a dream-life

He'd take her back to street-life

Away from violent water

With its Cormorants and leaves
Up on riverside


She'll drive the big car
But he'll sit behind
Bursting her bubbles of Ludlow and Grand

South along the Hudson
She'll turn the radio way up high
Find a station playing sad, sad soul


Just a little bit louder now
South along the Hudson


Just a little bit faster now
Just a little bit louder now

Just a little bit angry now
South along the Hudson, yea


Just a little bit faster now
Just a little bit louder now
Just a little bit angry now

South along the Hudson, yea

She'll drive the big car

He'll sit behind
She'll keep an eye on Jessica
Just a little bit faster now

Just a little bit faster now
