I sit inside this velvet case
A quiet ghost in a dusty place
I feel the floor begin to shake
A rhythmic hum I can't mistake
I hear the gravel drive tonight
Underneath the pale yellow light
The crunch of stones a steady beat
A midnight song upon the street
The coffee pot is steaming hot
A midnight shift in a lonely spot
I know the sound of every car
The distant hum of a rolling star
The regulars all take their seat
The grease and salt a savory treat
The clock is ticking on the wall
I wait for someone's sudden call
I hear the gravel drive tonight
Underneath the pale yellow light
The crunch of stones a steady beat
A midnight song upon the street
My wooden heart is old and worn
Between the midnight and the morn
I crave the bow to touch my string
And make the heavy silence ring
The headlights cut through the purple haze
A familiar path in a dizzy maze
The engine cuts and the door swings wide
I feel the pull of the turning tide
I hear the gravel drive tonight
Underneath the pale yellow light
The crunch of stones a steady beat
A midnight song upon the street
The gravel drive
The gravel drive
Just keep it rolling
(Yeah, that's the sound)
