Tony Baloni Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 On a damp sidewalk underneath a dim streetlight Stood the last fare of the night I pulled over, and she opened the door She said "take me to interstate 94" Through the rain cascading down my windsheild I could see the glow from the signs we pased As we gradually escaped the cities cold steel arms I broke the silence and asked Her name Highways are longer than our lives Our cars last longer than our souls. When the horizon is finally underneath us They disappear behind us with the meanings of the words we didn't learn til we were old We got to talking about philosophy As the fury from the storm outside crashed down on the trees She spoke like she knew my deepest fears She said I spoke like I've known her all these years We passed exit after exit I asked her where should I get off I turned around, she didn't make a sound But with her eyes she told me any choice was fine Highways are longer than our lives Our cars last longer than our souls. When the horizon is finally underneath us They disappear behind us with the meanings of the words we didn't learn til we were old I'm not gonna pretend that my life is bad I'm not gonna pretend that I'm always sad I left her standing in the rain on the shoulder of a blind curve She said if I needed her again I would always know where to find her...
