Late Goodbye
In our headlights, staring, bleak, beer cans, deer's eyes
On the asphalt underneath, our crushed plans and my lies
Lonely street signs, powerlines, they keep on flashing, flashing by
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye
Your breath hot upon my cheek, and we crossed, that line
You made me strong when I was feeling weak, and we crossed, that one time
Screaming stop signs, staring wild eyes, keep on flashing, flashing by
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye
The devil grins from ear to ear when he sees the hand he's dealt us
Points at your flaming hair, and then we're playing hide and seek
I can't breathe easy here, less our trail's gone cold behind us
Till' in the john mirror you stare at yourself grown old and weak
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye...
Based on a poem by Sam Lake
Dawn
When darkness is no less than everything you've built become undone
There's no fight and no flight, disaster leaves your passion overrun
It's time to let go, it's time to carry on with the show
Don't mourn what is gone, greet the dawn
n' I will be standing by your side
Together we'll face the turning tide
Remembrance, can be a sentence, but it comes to you with a second chance in tow
Don't lose it, don't refuse it, cos you cannot learn a thing you think you know
A new light is warm, shining down on you after the storm
Don't mourn what is gone, greet the dawn
n' I will be standing by your side
Together we'll face the turning tide
