Highway and the moon
It was a preface to motionRolling down the Oklahoma highwayHighway and the moonThe moon beat downWith cloudless devotionIt seemed like all heavenWas going my wayGoing my wayIt was a preface to wakingThe smell of gasolineA dream of milk and honeyHoney how are youYou were thereIn the dawn before the daybreakRising before VenusThe morning star and hummingA tune I could not nameTune I could not nameAnd swallows were tumblingOver our heads they wereFalling by turnsBy turns rising againSeamlessly tracingThe profile of nightSongtexteIn a balance of meaningAnd motion and lightAnd there on the waterPassing belowI saw our bodies reflectedAs a perfect palindromeWe go tearing our love downTo build it up againFrom different directions we mean the sameWe are the same as we've always beenIt was a preface to knowingThrowing down the dreams of my own makingFor making better timeAnd time rolls onHeedless of our holdingThis momentary franchiseThe kingdom I have madeOf your bloodshot smileOf your bloodshot smileAnd swallows were tumblingOver our heads they wereFalling by turnsBy turns rising againSeamlessly tracingThe profile of nightIn a balance of meaningAnd motion and lightAnd there on the waterPassing belowI saw our bodies reflectedAs a perfect palindromeWe go tearing our love downTo build it up againFrom different directions we mean the sameWe are the same as we've always been
