Comet

So this is how it feels In the front seat On a long long ride It's getting late And mommas tears are Diamonds in the light Far from the snow On a Carolina road Packed to the brim Surrounded by breakable things The sky line is spreading out it's wings We're taking flight We are a comet in the night Passing houses on the interstate Full of families fast asleep And tomorrow the sun will rise again on their own familiar street We're still wide awake Getting closer and counting exit signs Trace my name On the window And take your hand In my without a sound Flying over foreign ground
