Lyrics
Night Drive, Rain Falling
Our own Annunciation,
Some proclaimation,
Fate waits that day.
Son, you tarry,
Just dwell.
Lodge where you are.
Half score, seems endless,
Time thwarts.
Time delays.
Son, you tarry,
Just linger.
Rest where you are.
Half score, so endless,
Time taunts.
Time detains.
Night drive, rain falling,
Sleep's calling,
Dazed form.
Glazed over,
Deep musings, oh,
Bewildered state.
Veering and leering
- they're jeering.
They berate.
Night drive, rain falling,
Cars crawling
Tempers frayed.
Son, your hearts beating,
Your life's fleeting.
Perch where you are.
Child, will I ever know you?
So much to show you
Fate takes that day.
Child, will I ever know you?
So much I owe you,
Fate takes our day.
Night drive, the rain is falling
Sick driver's snoring
Claimed me that day.
Son, you be a good boy,
You be a strong boy
Keep your mother safe.
Keep your mother safe.
Keep your mother safe.
Night drive, the rain is falling
Sick driver's snoring
Claimed your dad that day.
Boy, don't shirk like I did,
Expend your legs, kid
Avoid the shade.
So son, please don't worry,
For I am with you,
Don't hesitate.
Your heart is beating,
Your life is fleeting,
Perch where you are.
Son, you tarry,
Just linger.
Rest where you are.
Night drive, the rain is falling
Sick driver's snoring
Claimed me that day.
