You slide in on a vinyl seat
The midnight air is smelling sweet
Your coffee steam is rising white
A tiny ghost in morning light
The clock is ticking on the wall
You're waiting for the wind to call
The road is open wide and blue
I've got a lens aimed straight at you
You are the anchor in the deep
A secret that the highway keeps
Hold onto me and let it go
We'll find a place where rivers flow
You check your watch and tilt your head
The diner map is painted red
You fold the paper in your hand
A stranger in a lonely land
The clock is ticking on the wall
You're waiting for the wind to call
The road is open wide and blue
I've got a lens aimed straight at you
You are the anchor in the deep
A secret that the highway keeps
Hold onto me and let it go
We'll find a place where rivers flow
I click the shutter fast and clear
I catch the way you're standing near
A snapshot of a heavy weight
A lucky turn of sudden fate
The syrup drips upon the plate
The morning bus is running late
We're drifting through the 3am
A broken song, a hidden gem
You are the anchor in the deep
A secret that the highway keeps
Hold onto me and let it go
We'll find a place where rivers flow
You stand up with a heavy sigh
The silver moon has left the sky
You leave a dime upon the wood
I'd keep you here if only I could
You are the anchor in the deep
A secret that the highway keeps
Hold onto me and let it go
We'll find a place where rivers flow
Just let it go. The rivers flow.
(Final foot stomp)
