I see you walking up 14th Street
I see you walking up 14th Street
And you don't know
That I'm walking right behind you
Walking real slow
So guess who I saw in the subway station today on my way home from Troma. ( http://www.troma.com/ )
Laura Cantrell.
At first I thought I might have been mistaken because I recognized from a distance she was wearing the same shirt she wore at the July 4th concert, and I thought it might have been a similar person in a similar shirt. As I drew closer, I realized...
So did I tell her I wrote a song that involves her? No.
So did I mention I'm a fan (I doubt she'd remember me from the 40 seconds we shared July 4)? No.
What'd I do? I thought.
I thought about what to do, as a train went past with no passengers. She looked up and noted the passing train, and either realizing she was in the wrong place, or feeling like hailing a cab instead of waiting for a train to actually stop, she grabbed her shopping bags (I couldn't read them from where I was standing -- either clothes or housewares... or both?) and walked out of the station. As she passed, my lingering uncertainty was dissipated as I saw that, minus the hint of make-up for performance and with the addition of glasses, it was certainly her.
I felt puzzled, and then a train pulled up moments after she was out of sight.
