Ten Year Night

There is no one else around the road is quiet, the only sound Is wind that sounds like cars that sound like breathing The desert air is hot and dry two lanes weaving earth and sky The stars are all that's keeping time till morning And I turn and look beside me and you're sleeping like a baby And you haven't heard a word that I've been saying And the way you look tonight fast asleep in the dashboard light Well I can't speak that's how I feel Open your eyes and look at me and look at me Open your eyes and look at me 'Cause I have and hold this love for you Before this ten year night is through, I'm telling you Take it from me, take it from me We're ten years older, I know we are Than the night we met in that downtown bar You thought I was some kind of star That's what you said I felt your skin, I felt the heat As you pulled me out into the street And you kissed me there till I was weak 'Cause I asked you to And later on your kitchen floor Two flights above the grocery store I felt things I never felt before and I still do Open your eyes and look at me and look at me Open your eyes and look at me 'Cause I have and hold this love for you Before this ten year night is through, I'm telling you Take it from me, take it from me Going eighty on the highway We're all rushing somewhere But the way I feel tonight It's like I'm already there Open your eyes and look at me and look at me Open your eyes and look at me 'Cause I have and hold this love for you Before this ten year night is through, I'm telling you Take it from me, take it from me
