The Price
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Splashing through the water on the motorway
The headlights shine every drop of rain
And every mile takes a minute and every minute lasts an hour
And there's so many miles 'till I'm home again
And staring through the gathering mists on the window
I see that paying the price came so soon
And I swear that those eyes cut deeper into me
Than they've ever cut into you
Ch: - And still the fires won't go out
That no power of the mind can drive away
And still all I see are your eyes calling
And the sadness and the hatred and the love and the pain
Everybody knows this aching like an old friend
And everybody feels it the same
But I'm out here in this desperate night in the middle of nowhere
Driving faster, faster through the rain
Ch: - And still the fires won't go out
And still I wish I was home
And still all I ever see are your eyes calling
And still I love you with my whole soul
Am I trying to raise a toast when the glass is already empty
Am I paying the price now the wasted years are through
I swear that those eyes cut deeper into me
Than they'll ever cut into you
