Lyric

First cold air of the season

Coming through my open coat

Coffee cooling in my right hand

Someone laughing down the road

Something in the evening air

Brought your voice back for a while

Clear enough to say my name

Long enough to make me smile

I didn’t stop

I didn’t turn

Just let the little memory burn

You crossed my mind

For half a block

Long enough to make me smile

Not enough to make me stop

I don’t need those days again

I don’t wonder what we lost

You crossed my mind

For half a block

And that was nice

Passed the place we used to order

Saw the table by the wall

Wondered if you still tell bad jokes

Like you used to after all

Then the light changed at the corner

And the whole thought came and went

You crossed my mind

For half a block

Like a window lighting up

Then going dark

I don’t need to hold the moment

I don’t need to call it love

You crossed my mind

For half a block

And that was enough

First cold air of the season

You crossed my mind

And that was nice
