Close your eyes, can you see me?

Rollin' down the Rocky mountains, 

moving like the wind that sweeps the Kansas plains.

I know you're with me

as I make my way thru Oklahoma,

past the barns and weathervanes.

There are motels, cafes, fields and billboard signs,

a thousand miles of highway between your heart and mine.



There will finally come a moment

when one man and one woman

get everything they've be waiting for.

I'll take you in my arms again,

feel your skin against my skin,

let the sheet fall slowly to the floor

til nothing comes between us anymore.



In my soul, 

I can feel you

as I cross the Mississippi

you're the river flowing in me.

Coming home, 

I count each heartbeat

til the moment we're together

and the distance can be measured.

That's all that keeps me going when I'm gone.



There will finally come a moment

when one man and one woman 

get everything they've been waiting for.

I'll take you in my arms again,

feel your skin against my skin,

let the sheet fall slowly to the floor,

til nothing comes between us anymore.
