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.

An hour away from home,

The lights come on.

Standing at the side of the road,

I am in awe.

Amongst the snow and trees,

The freezing cold,

I thrive on each sorrowful note.

For the moment, all is still,

A tranquil pace.

The ease of being stranded,

In this compassionate place

Amongst the snow and trees,

The air is cold and clean,

and for the moment, I am at peace.

Being able to enjoy a disaster

is a sham of being so optimistic.

Now that the thrill has worn off,

and the adventure has lost it's charm,

I just want to go home.

Still waiting at the side of the road,

The hours have passed, since I last moved.

Head down, eyes closed,

Into a suspended sleep I fall.

Then in sequence, from far to near,

Light reflects off of objects before...

A sun, of the darkest blues,

Rises from the hills behind...
