You close the door and start the motor I roll the window down I raise my hand and wave goodbye To neighbourhood queens and clowns And children in the front yards They hide and seek and laugh I can almost hear you thinking How could these days go by so fast? And no rearview could picture What we leave behind Drive darling, drive darling Drive darling, drive darling, drive A silent conversation No words cause there's no need We let the tapes mix up the years And press repeat and press repeat The trunk is filled with records And books and chairs and clothes I'm smiling on the surface I'm scared as hell below And no rearview could picture What we leave behind Drive darling, drive darling Drive darling, drive darling, drive Good morning freedom Good night lullabies Drive darling, drive darling Drive darling, drive darling, drive And when we arrive The hardest of goodbyes But you will dry my eyes Somehow you're always by my side The one who holds my kite And watches over all my flights Once, once that we arrive The hardest of goodbyes But you will dry my eyes Somehow you're always by my side The one who holds my kite And watches over all my flights And no rearview could picture What we leave behind Drive darling, drive darling Drive darling, drive darling, drive
