He grips the wheel through Bavarian dusk
Headlights smear in wet musk
Meter ticks a steady fare
Tires hiss on asphalt square
Wipers beat a relentless sound
Dusk descends on holy ground
Rain and rubber keep the time
Engine hums a low rhyme
Passenger sighs in rearview blur
Coffee steam and radio stir
Guardrail reflectors flash like eyes
Fog rolls low beneath the skies
Brake lights bloom in ruby rows
Diesel coughs, the turbo grows
Shift lever worn from years of grain
Road teaches patience through the rain
Wipers beat a relentless sound
Dusk descends on holy ground
Rain and rubber keep the time
Engine hums a low rhyme
Mile markers count the long way home
Guardrails hum a steady drone
He knows each curve, each sudden bend
Night owls know the way to end
Dashboard glow paints fingers pale
Fare's wet coat tells a rainy tale
Autobahn stretches, ribbon straight
Wipers keep the hands of fate
Wipers beat a relentless sound
Dusk descends on holy ground
Rain and rubber keep the time
Engine hums a low rhyme
Rain writes rhythm on the pane
Wipers slash the glass again
