I stood still on the highway I [B] saw a woman [E] by the side of the [A].
road .
With a face that I knew like my own Reflected in my [E].
window.
Well, [A] she walked up to my quarter light And she [D] bent down real slow.
A fearful [A] pressure paralyzed [E] me In my [A].
shadows.
She said, son, what are you [E] doing [A] here?

My fear for you has turned me in my [E] grave.
