The Bridges of Madison
Where they first met
With her blonde hair shifting its way
Onto her small white tank-top

She was cold
Almost shivering at the point
Her clothes taking their layers off
So the sides of her cheeks
Could rest in peace

He lent her his jacket
His corduroy blue jacket
That his father gave him
When he was a young child
Running down the streets of South Carolina.

She was kind to his voice
Her southern accent
Zipped along the trains
That made their way through the quiet town

As they spoke to one another
He could see their children
Running through the backyard
As the night chilled
On the banks of winter

He could see the way
Each morning rose
And each time it felt like the first

For they spoke for hours
Until the morning finally rose, once again

The Bridges of Madison
Where they first met under the white snow.
