was longing for Eliza
In the darkest part of winter
That comes here in December
Followed by the deeper cold
He'd been longing for Eliza
ever since he saw her
And wondered if there were a way
to draw her to his dream
He had loved other wo men,
but couldn't find a way to show them
So he never got to know them,
to have or to hold them
This time it would be different
If he could only touch her spirit
Or even could get near it
Somehow she would know
He'd been longing for Eliza
Since he saw her by the river
And longed to be delivered
to the inside of her ways
His name was Wyatt Chambers
He fixed vehicles for neighbors
He charged for parts and labor,
people paid what they could pay
One day he saw Eliz a,
car broke down on the shoulder
His first chance to be bolder,
he just made repairs and waived
Now she says, hello
Mr. Chambers,
he says call me Wyatt
Then it quickly gets too quiet
and they both rush to goodbye
He'd been longing for Eliza
since he saw her by the river
And longed to be delivered
to the inside of her ways you
