"you're just too good to be true
|
|
can't take my eyes off of you."
|
|
lightning streaks the sky
|
|
without thunder, no rain
|
|
but wind
|
|
"....like heaven to touch
|
|
i want to hold you so much."
|
|
two hands on the wheel to keep my car in my lane
|
|
"all the super hits of 1967 and this next one's for a listener
|
|
in weed california, and lucy, back in ohio and george and all the boys out
|
|
in hawaii who wrote in and requested, this song."
|
|
red light blinks left merges left even with me
|
|
i change lanes and slow down a little let him pass
|
|
"then you go and spoil it all by saying something stupid
|
|
like
|
|
i love you."
|
|
and all the red tail lights down the hill in front of me
|
|
and lots of static
|
|
and the white lights, the pack behind me
|
|
descending upon me
|
|
into my rearview mirror
|
|
and it doesn't matter whether i am first in line
|
|
"go faster daddy, pass that car too," like when i was a kid.
|
|
"you go out dancing just like you did the night before."
|
|
two hands on the wheel to keep bruce in line
|
|
and to concentrate, stop thinking
|
|
get home through the storm
|
|
i am very happy now happier than i've been in a long time
|
|
"and then you go and spoil it all by saying something stupid
|
|
like...i love you."
|
|
i couldn't stand to see you gone.
|
|
"right after this message,
|
|
have you heard the dirt on dorris?"
|
|
i wouldn't want to live here alone.
|
|
but still i worry
|
|
though there's no reason for it there's nothing wrong.
|
|
again the sky is lit
|
|
still no thunder no rain no hail as before
|
|
leaving brown scum on the road like old, dirty snow
|
|
more static
|
|
the smell of white fur on the dash and the heater
|
|
and a mile and a half to go
"but if you stay
|
|
i'll make you a day as no day has been or will be again."
|
|
i change lanes once
|
|
then twice
|
|
signal right to exit
|
|
almost home.
