On a Bus to St. Cloud - Jimmy LaFave

On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota

I thought I saw you standing there

Snow falling all around you

Like a silent prayer

Once on the streets of New York City

With the jazz and the sin in the air

Once on a cold LA freeway

I was going nowhere

And it’s sad

But it’s true

Well I thought it was really you

Just a face in the crowd

On a bus to St. Cloud

In a church in downtown New Orleans

I got down on my knees and I prayed

I wept in the arms of Jesus

For the choice you made

We were just getting to the good part baby

Sliding past the mystery

Oh it’s just like you

Yes it’s just like you

To disagree

And it’s strange

But it’s true

You just slipped

Out of my view

Like a face in the crown

On a bus to St. Cloud

And you chase me like a shadow

And you haunt me like a ghost

And I love you some

And I hate you some

Baby I miss you

Miss you the most

On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota

I thought I saw you standing there

Snow falling all around you

Like a silent prayer
