Late last night I missed my train I walked back to the car and drove home again Just outside of Pittsburgh, it's really not that far Saw a light come shining across the reservoir The sun in California, it drops right into the sea I took a couple pictures; they don't mean that much to me But just outside of Pittsburgh, I saw it from my car The light shines to the bottom of the reservoir The starless night come fall around me Over all we've left undone I know a light that shines forever Howsoever we may run The moon hung on a hillside in eastern Tennessee With rows of honeysuckle blooming over me But the iron hills of Pittsburgh, where all my memories are Gathering light around the reservoir
