Song Description

Has a peaceful ending, but yet a sad song about hitch hiking and spending a lonely night fending off loneliness and the cold.

Lyrics

Stoney faces in windshield frames
A dirt streaked car races by
Darkness falls, drop my thumb and walk
Hilltop halo lights an empty road

Yellow blaze from far window pane
The soothing movements of love
That distant warmth is now left behind
The lights grow dim, then they disappear

Cold hands, sore feet, burning ears
Wind gusts knife at my back
The stars throw soft glow on a murky glade
A concrete pad for my feet

Dark horizon spans side to side
All shades of black, stinging snow
Dried stalks of corn
Rattle their cry
They turn their back, all hold their peace
Long weary to the depths
There swells a warm joy
So glad You?re here
