Track Insight / Lyrics
I drive the midnight loop alone
The city feels just like a stone
I saw a page upon the street
Where old concrete and water meet
A rain soaked letter by the screen
The saddest thing I've ever seen
It waits beside the drive-in gate
A heavy heart, a lonely fate
The ink is bleeding in the grey
Like colors from a dying day
I stepped my cab off to the curb
The quiet night was undisturbed
A rain soaked letter by the screen
The saddest thing I've ever seen
It waits beside the drive-in gate
A heavy heart, a lonely fate
I've hauled a thousand fares to town
I've watched the summer curtains down
The paper clings to salted grit
A broken promise, every bit
A rain soaked letter by the screen
The saddest thing I've ever seen
It waits beside the drive-in gate
A heavy heart, a lonely fate
The wind is cold, the sky is black
There is no way to take it back
I left it there for one last glance
A ghost of some forgotten dance
A rain soaked letter by the screen
The saddest thing I've ever seen
It waits beside the drive-in gate
A heavy heart, a lonely fate
Just a wet envelope in the rain.
Keep the meter running.
