Top of the Hill

Roadside Cafe
Top of a hill
Stopped for some coffee
A break from the wheel

Had a chance encounter
Of the sordid kind
I was tired from the road
She was drunk from the wine

Who could see what would happen
The way things would go
It’s funny what someone will do
When no one will know

She bumped into my table
Coffee slipped through the cracks
Between the wall and the napkins
All I could do was laugh

There was red in her cheeks
Highlights in her hair
I asked her if she’d join me
She said she didn’t care

Who could see what would happen
With the meeting out of the way
It’s funny what people do at night
When there won’t be another day

I walked out of the motel
Left the keys by the door
Left her lying on the bed
Clothes lying on the floor

There was red in her cheeks
She had beautiful hair
I softly kissed her good bye
She probably didn’t care

Who could see what would happen
What I’d leave behind that door
It’s funny how people get confused
Was it lust or something more

Road side cafe
Top of a hill
Keep waiting to see her
I probably never will
