"It was twelve-ten"

I was packing up the car, getting ready to leave about noon,

And i got on the road and at...

As i was driving, the wind was picking up

And it looked like there was going to be a storm

That kind of was blowing through.

And, uh, it started to rain and i was, uh,

About half a mile from i-94 --

Which would be the expressway i would take

To head first to the east and then south to

Dayton. and, uh, a tree limb had fallen in the road.

And my last memories are two things:

An suv climbed over the branches of the tree

On the lane coming toward me, but the limb

Was so large in my lane that there was no way

I was getting over or around it.

And so i pulled off to the side,

Parked my car,

Pulled the parking brake,

And it was twelve-ten.

And that's the last memory i have of that day
