Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain streaks the windshield like tears
Streetlamps blur to golden spheres
Passenger sits quiet, still
Clutching roses, throat gone chill
Meter ticks the seconds slow
Love rides where the cold winds blow
Midnight fare with a heart to bear
Searching streets for a love to share
No address given, just a name
Love's the only winning game
Turn the corner, find the door
Love waits on the checkered floor
Wipers dance a steady beat
Couple argues in the back seat
Driver watches in the glass
Years of fares like hours pass
Knows the routes that lovers take
Every bridge, each sharp heartbreak
Midnight fare with a heart to bear
Searching streets for a love to share
No address given, just a name
Love's the only winning game
Turn the corner, find the door
Love waits on the checkered floor
Radio plays something old
Stories that are never told
Engine coughs a weary sigh
Clouds drift low across the sky
Passenger checks phone again
Fingers trembling, heart in rain
Midnight fare with a heart to bear
Searching streets for a love to share
No address given, just a name
Love's the only winning game
Turn the corner, find the door
Love waits on the checkered floor
Headlights catch a porch light glow
Number matches, pulse beats slow
Door swings wide before the knock
Key turns smooth in ancient lock
Fare is paid with shaking hands
Love completes what distance planned
Steering wheel remembers every
Hand that gripped and left too heavy
Stories etched in vinyl seams
Midnight runs on diesel dreams
Driver smiles, adjusts the mirror
Love's the only compass nearer
Dawn breaks pale on avenue
Another shift is passing through
Taxi pulls to curb once more
Engine rests, the night is o'er
Logbook closed with final line
Love's the fare that keeps time
Midnight fare with a heart to bear
Searching streets for a love to share
No address given, just a name
Love's the only winning game
Turn the corner, find the door
Love waits on the checkered floor
Love waits on the checkered floor
Meter stops, the night goes quiet
Love remains the only pilot
