Sleepdriving

Snow fell thick and small

It buried a starlit fog

You remembered it all

I'm sleepdriving away

Metal and mold, bourbon and clove

Mirrors and smoke, yesterday's clothes

I'm sleepdriving away

Eyes through your window, I stare out

And some, someday we'll be too old

Cold will ache with making you jaw

You're only as old as you say that we are

I'm sleepdriving away

The trunk of the car filled with all that we own

This old Pontiac's starting to feel like a boat

I'm sleepdriving away

Eyes through your window I stare out

And some, someday we'll be too old

It's nearly dawn, your motel home

The shades were drawn to hide the storm

Without a sound, TV glow

The blankets tied around our throats

Swirling round, the light above

Outside the crows were waking up

It's nearly dawn

Motel home was nearly gone

No sleep at all

Outside, those crows

In life, oh noes

Frozen roads and run

Sleepdriving away
