	Story Behind the Song one night at the eagle hotel in bernville, pa. as always, i was eavesdropping. she wanted to leave, he didn't, and i made up my own story as to why. Lyrics 12:30 in the am. but it feels like 3 o'clock. the snow's piled high outside the door. they say 2 feet could drop. the evening's plans, they seemed so fine let's go out and see some friends. of course, that was 7 hours ago now she prays this night will end. it was 5:30 in the pm. when they started out today. the evening meal would have to wait, there's just one small stop to make. to the corner bar that he calls home he drags her by the arm. 'let's stop in for one and see the boys. what could possibly go wrong?' 8:30 in the pm. and she's tuggin' at his side. she shoots a cold, cold glare at those heavy, bloodshot eyes. just 7 shots and 7 beers and 7 shots again. it's been 14 years and 14 days that she has waited for a change. 10:30 in the pm. there's no meal for her tonight. and she knows better than to complain and god forbid she cry. just sit down by the drunkard and play that silent waiting game for tonight she holds the hope that tomorrow won't be the same. 12:30 in the am. but it feels like 3 o'clock. the snow's piled high outside the door. they say 2 feet could drop. the evening's plans, they seemed so fine, let's go out and see some friends. of course, that was 7 hours ago now she prays this night will end.
