Night Cab

The raindrops on the roof of the car Sound like a warning I'm alone in the backseat And in the clouded sky a pondering star Waits for morning To go back to sleep There's a great big world out there Of good and bad and everything in between I've got my own small world in here Of happy and sad and the little I have seen Keep driving, keep driving Keep driving, keep driving The silent lamppost bows down its head Encircled by darkness With time on its side And when everyone I know are in bed My light shines the sharpest Across the divide There's a deep blue sea out there Of birth and death and the lovely mess in between I've got my own short life in here Going to God-knows-where in this fast machine Keep driving, keep driving Keep driving, keep driving Keep driving, keep driving Keep driving, keep driving (then you just keep the groove through:) Through the city, past the billboards Selling hope to hopeless souls To the outskirts where every locked door Has seen things that no-one knows Past the beaches where the wind blows And the waves caress the shore Through the forest where a tree grows For two hundred years or more The raindrops on the roof of the car Sound like a warning I'm alone in the backseat And in the clouded sky a lonesome star Waits for morning To go back to sleep
