The Lane
The Lane
Let's start the ignition and proceed on a refrain
Driving on an open highway, that all familiar lane
Some things have changed, some things are the same
Some turnpikes are euphoric some brought some pain
My brain was in rush hour and injuries from a crash was sustained
You came back in the passenger seat to ride this with me
Been cruising this interstate alone, thought you would forget me
Forget the cruise control your hair blown with the wind
Your hand locked with mine what better place to be in
Higher than high gets we're like the captain and the pilot
Floating into a horizon of a sunset of fire and violet
Don't try to hide it, the way I made you feel
Our vivid mental album even melts my pride of steel
Concealed behind locked doors, now it's cracked, and I'm lured
To the precious treasures in my vault that I so adored
Into each other we poured all of the beautiful graphics
In a private gallery of some of our favorite classics
Some naked canvases we painted on and both mastered
It's so nice that we are on 95 north absolutely no traffic
Once again you and I no exits and no vehicular disaster
Faster ! Faster! Middle road with vigor we excel
Wish I could just hold your hand again, and once again gel
I’ve been so compelled with your spirit and your essence
In the seat next me sits only your ghostly presence
When use to ride together, those exits yes I dreaded
I put the pedal to the medal I run them over and dead them
Locked the door wandering thoughts, in I won't let them
I know they comfort me, on lonely night travels
I keep them close to me while I fight these battles
Sometimes certain journeys are made for one person
My crusade is so worth it, but baby I'm still hurting
Been thirsty your water, been thirsty for your food
Feel dehydrated the meals were not chewed
Some dreams of you are sacred some dreams of you are lewd
Seeing you after 7 months, yes I stayed somewhat subdued
...but the more we talk I felt renewed
Old feelings inevitable intrude, you know the ones that
that have you dwelling with 6's fraternal twin
In the clouds... that feeling can be a clear sunny day or shroud
It's the risk that we take, in the beginning we're all beguiled
Will you be there beside me through the obstacles and trials
When the road gets bumpy and treacherous, will you grasp my hand?
Or get in another drivers car? Will you desert or stand?
I had to be pulled aside and go through some things you might not understand
To fulfill a destiny and plan, you know the kind of man I am
For the land that's coming ahead a strong woman is needed
Don't need any spores on stony ground, but a root that's deep seeded
His Mercy endures forever, with the one HE chooses in a prophecy I witnessed the breeding
There is life that comes forth, when there is no more bleeding
You know I had the victory all along when I thought I was defeated?
Seated in high places, lord what in the hell have I been chasing?
Driving to catch that harvest moon, patiently waiting
Well here is your stop, as we sit and talk for a while
I sit here missing some of those memories that made us smile
I felt wanted our reunion to go on longer, what's right can seem so wrong
The thing about our moments is that they live, they're not gone
Nothing can separate us, no road blocks nor storm
Is your world in some chaos? Or is it really calm?
Well either way spiritually or physically I'm here to keep you warm
Just wonder if anything in your mind sparked
Talking about the night in the rain?
Oh well Tiff, the car door is still open...
It was nice driving with you down The Lane.
