New Hampshire

A lonely yellow light gets swallowed by the morning in New Hampshire 
And casts a shadow on the pavement where we used to walk together, yeah, yeah 
Put in a small town made of hills and trees and streams
And you've got to believe--this is what you dream 
I know she will make it, somehow 

(Chorus) 
'Cause she is from New Hampshire, yeah 
She said she wants to see it all 
Putting on her make-up 
She's making her last telephone call 
She says she's leaving me now 

My eyes are are following the lines that lead away from New Hampshire, yeah 
She's gone out of view and taken her clarity and laughter 
Put in a big town made of hard and scary things, but You've got to believe-- it is is what you dream 
I know she will make it, somehow 

(Chorus) 
'Cause she is from New Hampshire, yeah 
She said she wants to see it all 
Putting on her make-up 
She's making her last telephone call 
She says she's leaving.. 

Why is growing up so bad for love? 
It takes us further from what means the most to me 
The most in us has gone away 

But she is from New Hampshire 
She said she wants to see it all 
Putting on her make-up 
She's making her last telephone call 
She says she's leaving me now 
She says she's leaving me now 
She says she's leaving me now
