Far Away and Dreaming

Sitting in the car on a Sunday driving

Your left hand

In my right

Yellow lines moving down the highway

Meeting the last red

Of morning light

And in the last of 7 hours south of Chicago

I see you close your eyes and go to sleep

And I love you when you're far away and dreaming

And I love you down in Nashville, Tennessee

And in the early hours of a weekday morning

You get up

From your bed

And I think you probably thought that I was sleeping

When you kissed me

On my head

Oh and while I watched you walking down the hallway

My stubborn eyelids fell on back to sleep

Oh I love you when I'm far away and dreaming

And I love you down in Nashville, Tennessee

So never let me go

And I'll never let you go

Always keep me close

And I'll be alright

And in the quiet of the night when we are sleeping

Your steady heart beats gentle neath my cheek

Oh I love you when we're far away and dreaming

And I love you down in Nashville, Tennessee
