Valentine's Day

I'm driving a big lazy car, rushing up the highway in the dark

I got one hand on the wheel and one hands trembling over my heart

It's pounding baby, like it's gonna bust right on through

And it ain't gonna stop, 'til alone again with you

A friend of mine, became a father last night

When we spoke in his voice, I could hear the light

Of the skies and the rivers, the timberwolf in the pines

And that great jukebox, out on Route 39

They say he travels fastest, who travels alone

But tonight I missed my girl, missed her, tonight, I miss my home

Is it the sound of the leaves?

Left blown the wayside

That's got me out here, on this spooky old highway, tonight

Is it the cry of the river?

With the moonlight shining through

That ain't what scares me, baby

What scares me is losing you

They say if you die in your dreams, you really die in your bed

But honey, last night I dreamed, my eyes rolled straight back in my head

And God's light came shining on through

I woke up in the darkness, scared and breathing and born anew

It wasn't a cold river bottom, I felt rushing over me

It wasn't the bitter of a dream, that didn't come true

It wasn't the wind in the grey fields, I felt rushing through my arms

No, no baby, baby it was you

So hold me close, honey say you're forever mine

And tell me, you'll be, lonely valentine
