lyrics

I make this drive night upon night
the drive is short but it's hard
I see something just outside my headlights
staring at me through the dark

You were just here on my lips
I was just holding your face
now I'm on this dark road again
because this is where we hang in space

The open window keeps me awake
Thelonious Monk keeps the fears inside
A freight train crosses the road ahead
I watch the drag rumble out of the night

I can still hear you breathing
how you murmured my name in your sleep
Blue window light on your skin
and how I always have to leave

How can I trust this thing in my hands
I always test Messiah's wounds
How can I be more certain of the dirt
How can I have the faith to be good for you

Fear and sleep hunt together
and my car's not throwing much light
this twenty miles feels like forever
and I can feel them close behind

When fear and sleep over take me
as I drive the last few feet
I'm sorry, Love, I will doubt you
'Cause I'm too weak a man to believe

I'm sorry, Love, I will doubt you
'Cause I'm too weak a man to believe
