There are bridges over rivers
There are moments of collapse
There are drivers with their feet on the glass
You can kick but you can't get out
There is history in the rooms of the house
Total reference to the bridge on 35.
The coffee maker hisses on the stove
This is one of many references to coffee on the stove.
So you went down to the back steps then to the basement
There were bookshelf plans on the workbench
And a flashlight shining bright all night
Try not to think about your son and your wife
And the lightning that scattered the night sky
And the wind bursts that tore up the power lines
At the workbench in the basement
Where you sat and tried to wait out the night
The workbench is references in Extraordinary Dinner Party as well which kind of leads me to believe that this is all occurring to the family of the narrator of that song's parents in 1965. Maybe meaning he was the child referenced? That actually makes a lot of sense.

Like the bridge on 35.
