Adeline was a wistful child haunted by dreams of an unknown harm would seek comfort from her father before the dew. Her father charmed would take her in his arms stroke her braids and tip back his head and say, Adeline, there?s no one else like you

As she grew the dreams would too and until one day she had thought it through she would drive until the dreams lay in her wake. But anywhere she laid her head the dreams would come and they?d raise the dead. So she drives faster than the dreams can feed her pain

* Sun screams across the sky with the moon on its tail.
She drives another hundred miles without the time to unleash her sails

** The highway miles they float on by much faster than she can gather ties to the ones she?s met then left so far behind.

Cat tails turn into suburban trails truck stop malls and urban sprawls that blur the lines between county and state divides. Forgotten dreams split at the seams of those who try but cannot see, just lose sight of who they are and what to be

A Whiskey neat and a smoke so sweet her wings would fly if she could lift her feet,
So she drives as far as her head will lay her way. She?ll, light another cigarette, burn it through before she casts her net along the twisted road that drives her from her dreams

* Sun screams across the sky with the moon on its tail.
She drives another hundred miles without the time to unleash her sails

**Long dirt roads lead her from, take her farther down will they bring her around or will Adeline just roam

* Sun screams across the sky with the moon on its tail.
She drives another hundred miles without the time to unleash her sails

**So she drives another 1000 miles leaving the dead souls as they cry, Adeline, there?s no one else like you, Adeline, there?s no one else like you, Adeline, there?s no one else like you?
