I Lost You

Drive on drive on

The highway bright and long

The river's overflowing

The house's burning down

Drive on drive on

The engines on the lawn

We kiss goodbye and drink up

Some hours before the dawn

We kiss goodbye and drink up

I'll miss you when you're gone



So throw me a line

Throw me a line

My heart's underneath

Aside on our feet

The windows are shaking

And so are my bones

The worlds going round

Throw me a rope



A trumpet and a trombone

Still echoing in the hall

And bells ringing out at dawn



So hang on to me

Hang on to me

The world's going round

And time's cutting out

The headlights are swinging all over the lawn

So throw me a rope

Throw me a rope



I knew you when I was young

The loveliest girl in town

I wish you were still around



I waited a long time

All for you

I waited a long time

I lost you

I was sleeping in the backseat

When I got home

I was finally reminded

I lost you
