No matter
how hard we tried, it will never make it right and we will never do it right
I woke up at
the crack of dawn, with a rooster crowing in the dark some distance far away
Waiting for
me to softly close the backdoor, and never looking back anymore,
I had
nothing else to say, and if you look out of your window, I will be gone
forever,
Never
looking back, just leaving you a note on the kitchen counter,
Telling you gently,
I will be moving on and follow those lonely railroad tracks
Turning on
the car lights, as I glide silently out of the driveway, I shed a solo tear
Slowly, I turned
around to see if you are there looking out the window, but nobody is there
Not a light
is on in the house, and nobody cares as I glance once more in the rearview
mirror
And as I put
my head down in despair, I gaze up to the stars up in the sky, breathing the cold
dry morning air, thinking again of hiding from the light
I wondered why
we always changed our minds, I wondered why we could never see the light
If we don’t
know by now babe, we will never know why, I drive on the dark side of the road
I wish there
was something I could say, I wish you would call out my name but it is never
the same
But I also
wish you knew what I was thinking, and that it’s not at all what you make it
out to be
You just want
us to be lovers, you want us to pretend it’s all bright and light
But I just
want to be free and stay away from the fright of seeing the light
But the
truth be told, we never did talk too much, and we never did see the light
As you tried
to change me, I offered to stay but you pushed me away, as we often fight
You didn’t
like what I was thinking, so it could never be the same as we never shared the
road
The light I never
knew, living on the dark side of the road, was what set me free
It aint no
use pretending babe, even as you turn on your light to make it bright, it could
never be, the same for you and me
There is
nothing you can say that makes it right, there is nothing you can do to make it
bright
So pretending
seems just like a waste of precious time, a time that has been so unkind
And as I drive
off into the darkness, I hear you calling my name, but it’s just the same
As we never
did talk too much anyways, we never got used to calling each other names and giving
ourselves a chance to be one of the same
Where I am
bound, it has no name, where I end up is all the same
I could have
done better, I could have done it right, but then I would have left the dark
and come into the light
From the
dark end of the road, never wandering into the bright, I felt secured and tight
We never
learned to share the load, we never knew what it was like to live in the light
It seems it
was the life I was born with, it seems that I was always denied the light, but
regardless how it ended, I always seemed to drive off in the middle of the night
But driving on
the dark side of the road, allowed me a chance to learn and keep my heart light
There was
less fear of doing it right, and get away from this life I was born with, as
time passed so quickly avoiding the light
And my love
disappeared within the twinkling of an eye, let’s just enjoy it before we say
goodbye, as it was never meant to be to stand out in the light
From the
dark end of the road I can see much better, I can never do wrong, just get it
right
From the
bright side of the road, the future is not so bright or kind to me, so it seems
a fright
And if I can’t
find someone to share a song with, then let me by content and drive all night on
the darker side of the road,
Where time
stands still, and the moon is bright, leaving me alone again, but with the
memory of our last time making love in the middle of the night
