On a Bus to St. Cloud

(Gretchen Peters)



On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota

I thought I saw you there

With the snow falling down

Around like a silent prayer.



And once on a street in New York City

With the jazz and the sin in the air

And once on a cold LA freeway

Going nowhere.



And it's strange but it's true

I was sure it was 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 prayed

And I wept in the arms of Jesus

For the choice you made.



We were just gettin' to the good part

Just gettin' past the mystery

Oh, and it's just like you

It's just like you to disagree.



And it's strange but it's true

You just slipped out of view

Like a face in the crowd

On a bus to St. Cloud.



And you chase me like a shadow

And you haunt me like a ghost

And I hate you some and I love you some

But I miss you most.

Around like a silent prayer...
