Jump, if you want to, __ause I__l catch you, girl. I__l catch you __ore you fall. Go as far inside as you need to, I__l hold your ankles. Make sure you get back out. I__ not saying this because I need a place to stay. That__ the last thing I need. I told you, I__ a walking man, but I been heading in this direction for seven years. Walking all around this place. Upstate, downstate, east, west; I been in territory ain__ got no name, never staying nowhere long. But when I got here and sat out there on the porch, waiting for you, well, I knew it wasn__ the place I was heading toward; it was you. We can make a life, girl. A life.
