DESCRIPTION:
From the Prairie Fire Deluxe package, the song "52".

Lyrics
He stepped out on the porch
And said "do you mind if I sit a while
And whittle your name into this wall,
'Cause I'm afraid you're going to leave soon
And that'll be all.
We gotta change something,
We're strangers and it's so cold."
And as the door let out a scream,
It slammed and that was all.

It was the Winter of '52
And all was torn down and broken,
And he listened to the radio each night,
Remembering how they danced.
And he poked the fire a little more
'Cause it was cold outside.
Downstairs is a picture
Of the day that he came home,
All battled down and broken,
Just a shadow of before -
And she's holding him tight,
Like you hold on to something
You're so afraid of.

As he pulled down the shades
All alone and cold,
The door let out a scream
And it slammed and that was all.
