Keep one eye on the road 

The other one fixed on the one you hold 



The windshield is bombarded by rain 

I can only see black and yellow in my brain 

As the colors of containers in a dark distance 

Flare up in my face like sparks in my pistons 

Fuel gage almost pointing at empty 

Evidently the high speed has taken a toll 

Break and roll very gently down to the waterfront 

Maybe ten feet away 

My 500 stallions have sent me to stay for a purpose 

To observe just a five minute silence 

A break from the circus of everyday humdrum 

And the effect is like a shock from a stun gun 

Some run far, some run fast to return soon 

The thought of going everpresent as it burns true 

A part of me is always close to the harbor 

Sailing with the ghost of my grandfather 



CHORUS 



Keys in the ignition, headlights rising 

Playing with the rain, but the rhythm is random 

I sit in abandon with a hand on the wheel 

But I'm still unable to leave 

Dazed by the slow moving mass of the cranes 

Sedated by the memories i only remember to forget 

Like a radio signal in a flash 

And at last I am cleansed out 

If you could see what I see, if you could be in my sleep 

If you found me, I'd be lost 

No cost is greater than to let go with a past like yours 

It doesn't make sense how nothing makes sense now 

Stand still, stand still 

But the more I command it, the more I know 

Leaving is nothing but an act of will 

And I feel my diverging path 

Has taken me as far as I have to go 

Fathers become sons, tables turned 

I know that I have been unaware, unconcerned 

Now haunted by the thought, I grab the keys 

Step outside and see purple 

On the road, out on the seas 

We'll be reunited within the red circle 



CHORUS 



Leave a light on, I'll arrive on time this time and try to stay 

Leave a light on if the night's too dark, the spark has gone away 

Far or near, tomorrow's here 

Follow me, and I know the road is clear 

What you need now is not me 

How could I breathe out all this fear?
