Drive (song# 84)

Drive (song #84)

The fading lights in your eyes

Driving (drive?) you to another dawn

The same road stretched (stretches?) (out) in front of me

Even (now) that (when?) you're gone

So many miles behind

And so many to go

So I drive

I drive 

I drive

The shadows dance much slower now

As the wheels keep turning round

A thousand roads-a thousand dreams

A thousand unheard sounds

So many miles behind

And so many to go

So I drive

I drive 

I drive

These memories

Weigh me down

Lift me up 

Turn me around

The road goes on following your star

When I'm lost- alone

Thinking back

Off the rails 

Then back on track

I just look around and there you are

(And I can) drive (on)

Shifting into overdrive

A final push ahead

Burning all the extra miles

Pushing to the red

So many miles behind

And so many to go

So I drive

I drive 

I drive

These memories

Weigh me down

Lift me up 

Turn me around

The road goes on following your star

When I'm lost- alone

Thinking back

Off the rails 

Then back on track

I just look around and there you are

(And I can) drive (on)

These gears still change just like they did before

These wheels still turn round and round

These roads all look so familiar in their own way

Sometimes I swear you're still around

Horizon stretches out in front

A never ending line

The driver's changed but not the coarse

Connecting yours to mine

So many miles behind

And so many to go

So I drive

I drive 

I drive

These memories

Weigh me down

Lift me up 

Turn me around

The road goes on following your star

When I'm lost- alone

Thinking back

Off the rails 

Then back on track

I just look around and there you are

(And I can) drive (on)
