Red metal archway, the Washington Bridge,
Made rings in the water.
Rings in the water underneath a white sky
Made a cuckold a widow
I'm coming down now
To the red north water
Who is with me?
When I drove the rambler, I came to the bridge
With a special knowledge.
I had the special knowledge of a silver tongue
Way down in the river.
A man time-torn
Hates getting born
Too far north.
