Highway of Light - Madrugada

Highway of Light

Lights the way

Into the night

Puts all flesh

All human spirit

To rest

The clatter and the clang

The bells we rang

The sound of wheels

I’ve got a fresh set of ears

And they ain’t listening

Oh no

But soon it all appears in vain

Even the rain

It will stop

My eyes are black

My jealous dry

And I feel nothing

No more

Headlights penetrate the wall

Of darkness that surround it all

We chase the highway on and on

Tonight the highway is our home

Highway of Light

Deliver me

To the night

That we might sleep

And disappear

No-one may ever

Find us here

An endless string of lights

Meanders through the night

Through houses with gaping doors

Where no-one's living any more

Highway of Light

Lights the way

Into the night

Puts all flesh

All human spirit

To rest
