Lyrics[]

The air was cooling down
The sky was blue
I was heading north on Taylor Street
When I ran into you
We stopped to talk
Right there on the sidewalk
The air was new and clean
I was in between times

The mountains were clearly visible
And your timing was cruel
You said almost everything right
And your eyes shone like little jewels
We were talking
While the temperature dropped
I was hoping against hope
That the wheel would stop
You were nineteen
I was in between times
Hey
