Track Insight / Lyrics
I've left my lamp by the water's edge
A beacon fading as the desert spreads
The lonesome keeper's final stand
Watching embers of a bygone land
Now the lights of modern days surround
Fast lanes flashing, glowing town
But in my heart, the love still shines
For the lonely light that was mine
In the glow of neon lights
Sheltered from the desert nights
I'll weave my dreams of what's been
And let the highway songs be mine
The desert's secrets echo through my mind
Whispers of the lives I left behind
In hidden gorges, shadows play
Where the old and new worlds astray
Now the lights of modern days surround
Fast lanes flashing, glowing town
But in my heart, the love still shines
For the lonely light that was mine
In the glow of neon lights
Sheltered from the desert nights
I'll weave my dreams of what's been
And let the highway songs be mine
The desert's vast and windswept vast
Where the keeper's lighthouse once stood fast
But in the cities' neon blaze
I'll find solace for my restless days
In the glow of neon lights
Forever sheltered from the desert nights
I'll weave my dreams, make them shine
And the highway songs will be mine, all mine
Flashes on the interstate
Streaking through the Arizona night
Wheels humming, engines blazing
Neon ribbon, endless highway
