Streetlights

Found the courage, run away from home Hit the open road like a rollin' stone On your radio All those buildings, tall like weeds they grow Lights in offices, on and off they go Everyone's alone The city swallowed you like a sleeping pill Wonder if you thought about me still So I came to see you, we played in broken streets Every sidewalk held a mystery And we held the keys When it started raining we rain like trains till we Found the bus stop that I held you underneath Till you fell asleep The street lights lit you up like a cigarette The kind of glow that a man don't wanna quit As the sun rays, fought the rain away We hid in your room under cotton caves Oh and we slept the whole damn day We both knew I, had to leave that night Shooting stars fell from your moonlight eyes As you say goodbye The highway was as empty as my heart Skylight slipped away into the dark This old town it cries for you my dear The streetlights ain't as bright without you here
