There is no one else around
|
The road is quiet, the only sound
|
Is wind that sounds like cars that sound like breathing
|
The desert air is hot and dry
|
Two lanes weaving earth and sky
|
The stars are all that's keeping time till morning
|
And I turn and look beside me
|
And you're sleeping like a baby
|
And you haven't heard a word that I've been saying
|
And the way you look tonight
|
Fast asleep in the dashboard light
|
Well I can't speak, and that's how I feel
|
|
Chorus:
|
Open your eyes and look at me, and look at me
|
Open your eyes and look at me
|
'Cause I have and hold this love for you
|
Before this ten year night is through
|
I'm telling you
|
Take it from me, take it from me
|
|
We're ten years older I know we are
|
Than the night we met in that downtown bar
|
You thought I was some kind of star, that's what you said
|
I felt your skin, I felt the heat
|
As you pulled me out into the street
|
And you kissed me there till I was weak 'cause I asked you to
|
And later on on your kitchen floor
|
Two flights above the grocery store
|
I felt things I never felt before, and still do
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Going eighty on the highway
|
we're all rushing somewhere
|
But the way I feel tonight
|
It's like I"m already there
|
