Garnet Rogers - Night Drive lyrics

How bright the stars How dark the night How long have I been sleeping? Sleep overtook me on my westward flight Held me in its keeping I had a dream; it seemed so real Its pa**ing left me shaking I saw you here behind the wheel On this very road I'm taking Hurtling westward through the prairie night Under the spell of motion Your eyes were clear and bright in the dashboard light Dreaming of the western ocean Dusty towns left far behind Mountains drawing ever nearer Your face was then as it was tonight Ever young Ever clearer I know this road And its every curve Where the hills commence their climbing We rested here If my memory serves The northern lights were shining You lit a smoke We shared some wine We watched the sky in wonder Your laughter echoes after all this time In that high and wild blue yonder I don't know why I write these lines It's not like I could send you the letter It's that I love your more after all this time It's that I wish I'd shown you better Years have slipped Beneath my wheels Dwindling in my rear view mirror As time has pa**ed Your life has seemed less real But these night drives bring you nearer So tonight I'll wish upon these stars As they rise upward to guide me That I'll see you here just as you are Now, as then, beside me Scares me how the years have flown Like the leaves drift in September They've lost sight of you as your legacy's grown But this road and I We remember
