Lyrics
Harsh light shines through your dark glasses
How right you are
Inch by inch, mile by mile
Past forest, farms and bars
Feeling like a burnt-out candle
Wax dripping from a flame
Drive, drive, won't you drive
Absence makes the heart beat faster
An image on your mind
Fail-safe insecurity
Tough magic of a kind
Creaking like a warn-out handle
Doors open just the same
Drive, drive, won't you drive
Drive, drive, won't you drive
Sitting here while time just traces
Fallen leaves and lost embraces
Moving through the wildest places
Occupying empty spaces
Harsh light shines through your dark glasses
You've come so far
Through little towns with packed suitcases
Churches, farms and barns
Fleeing from some secret scandal
No-one else to blame
Drive, drive, won't you drive
Drive, drive, won't you drive
Sitting here while time just erases
Fallen tears and lost embraces
Moving through the wildest places
Occupying empty spaces
Drive, drive, won't you drive
Drive, drive, won't you drive
Drive, drive, won't you drive
