Blue Wind, No Home

Headlights blur on a silver line

Another town fades out behind

Postcards piled in the glovebox glow

Names I knew but I had to go

Midnight talks on a payphone beat

Promises lost in the city heat

I chase the dawn like a runaway spark

Leaving my shadow in the dark

If I slow down the ache gets loud

So I keep moving through the crowd

I hold my breath I hold my ground

Until the silence drowns the sound

I can't stay long enough to belong

The road is the only song

Every mile a borrowed light

Fading slow in black and white

I can't stay long enough to belong

The road is the only song

Heart like thunder wheels like fire

Rolling through a lone desire

Window down and the night air cries

Old cassette with a worn out side

Lipstick notes on a motel key

Call me back when you're finally free

I meant to try but the sky turned wide

Blue wind pulled me to the other side

I love like lightning here then gone

Leaving a whisper where I shone

If I turn back the past turns cold

Hands I held turn dust and gold

So I keep faith in open roads

And let the highway lift the load

I can't stay long enough to belong

The road is the only song

Every mile a borrowed light

Fading slow in black and white

I can't stay long enough to belong

The road is the only song

Heart like thunder wheels like fire

Rolling through a lone desire

Maybe home's a moving star

Always near and always far

If I ever find its flame

Will it answer to my name

'Cause I'm a voice the night repeats

A pair of disappearing feet

I'm the echo after dawn

Always here already gone

I can't stay long enough to belong

The road is the only song

Every mile rewrites my name

Burning bright then gone again

I can't stay long enough to belong

The road is the only song

If I'm a storm that has to roam

Blue wind no home still home

Blue wind keep me strong

The road is the only song
