Drifter's Sunrise

Well the sun rises behind you when you walk a westbound road And the light sometimes reminds you of someone you used to know She had eyes that used to touch you like no eyes you ever knew But there's something about a highway changes sunshine into dew Well the darkness is leaving as the sun comes to the sky And the dew clings to the barley as the tears come to your eyes As the night like all your friendships must come to meet their ends You think about the good times drinking coffee with your friends You see the shadows of your past, it was too beautiful to last And the highway keeps on calling you to follow And the echoes in your mind are fading slowly into time But you can't look back and still face your tomorrow When a city cannot hold you there is always somewhere else But if you think you'll stop your moving, you are lying to yourself And you look through picture windows and see families in their homes But as long as there's a highway... you will walk alone You will walk alone All alone and by yourself down the dirty lonesome road the sun is coming up behind you And everything you see by the highway always has a sad, sad way to remind you...
