It must have been our crooked start that chipped me out of place nAnd that put me on a train to who knows wherenBut looking out the window with the weight of my disgracenLooking for what, I didn't carennBut the little town was greater and old just like BethlehemnI said, I'll stop right where I amnBellinghamnnAnd standing at the stationnA stranger in the rainnShe was calling out a name that wasn't minenShe grabbed me by the shouldersnAnd I shuddered in surprisenBut she seemed to recognize me alrightnnAnd maybe I believed that she was there looking for menAnd maybe I just wanted to be foundnBut I didn't try to clarifynNo, I just let her leavenAnd she closed the trunk and drove me to her housennShe'd been waiting for so longnShe said, Oh, I knew that you would comenBut she knows not who I amnBellinghamnnThe whole town dreamed of steamer fleets, the sultry August daynWhen the first ship cleared the Panama CanalnFor the shipping lanes would mend and change their fortunes and their fatesnWell, I'm glad that they can't see what I see nownnFor there's rubble and driftwoodnWhere they pulled their dimes to pay for the most majestic dock in the Pugit SoundnAnd when they cut the ribbonnThe county brass band playednWhat a sad moment it seems they struck up nownnNo one ever could say whynBut oh, the ships just passed on bynAnd they still don't understandnnAnd how long did I think I could keep up the masqueradenAnd how much did she know it was a lienWhen every bond I'd ever made, I'd broken or betrayednWhat made me think that I could step into a life that wasn't mine?nnI wrote a note and slipped awaynIt said, Oh, I just can't explainnBut it's all been a shownBellingham
