Driving through the noir of night, where lights intrude, and moths take flight
The sky’s a blanket of intricate layers, and I’m just a ghost with futile prayers
My wheels caress the tarmac road, as shadows dance and play an ode
I must get back to the town, where you’ll be waiting without a frown
My petrol gauge is quivering, I’m filled with rage and shivering
The hilltops stare in sympathy, the streetlights glare in empathy
The engine whines, and so do I, I’m so far gone I want to cry
The state I’m in is nothing new, and all this stress because of you
As dawn begins to break, I realise what’s at stake
I glance up at the sky, my eyes stuck like glue
For a small speck of light begins to break through
A pale and pretty sight, a welcoming blue hue
I’m miles away in thoughts and yards, I cut myself on mental shards
I itch to be with you my dear, if nothing else to quell my fear
My heart beats fast, I start to sweat, the steering wheel is warm and wet
The destination’s up ahead, but doubts are swirling in my head
The lights beat down from other cars, it hurts my eyes, I’m seeing stars
Then raindrops fall, impede my view, the wipers fail, and the brakes too
A deer runs out to test my skill, I swerve around and down the hill
I skid on leaves, spin through the muck, I’m counting on an ounce of luck
But dawn begins to break, and I realise just what’s at stake
I look back to the sky, my eyes are stuck like glue
For a small speck of light continues to break through
A pale and pretty sight, the welcoming blue hue
A howling wind whistles to me, the dashboard shakes to make me see
Purple shrouds, purple clouds, these coloured streaks subdue my doubts
A few more miles are all I need, to find you girl my heart must feed
Blind corners notwithstanding love, find warnings here but now it’s tough
I have the plan to make this right, it’s preordained, no need to fight
Your angel eyes are all I wish, your soft sweet lips I long to kiss
A new day born, it’s a fresh start, a few ways there to calm my heart
Arrive on time and there you are, your warm embrace is on a par
When dawn reaches its break, I’ve realised what’s at stake
I look away from the sky, my eyes are stuck on you
A larger speck of light has already broken through
A mass majestic sight, long live the sky’s blue hue.
