"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. |
