[Verse 1] The desert is waking in shades of pale gold Telling the stories that never get told The engine is ticking, cooling down on the shoulder While the world on the horizon grows a little bit older [Verse 2] I’m standing on the edge where the pavement ends Where the light and the shadow finally make friends I don't need the answers, I don't need the map Just the quiet of the morning in my open lap [Pre-Chorus] [Layered "Aah" slowly] The journey is a circle, the end is a start And the Midnight Machine is the beat of my heart [Chorus] Oh, we’re living for the spaces in-between The ghost and the gear and the high-speed dream It’s the breath in the lungs, it’s the light on the sea It’s the part of the road that’ll always be free Yeah, we’re drifting away on a silver thread With a thousand miles of beauty ahead [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] [ single voice] The levee broke open... The rust turned to light... And we finally outran the ghost of the night. [Melodic and uplifting] [Chorus] Oh, we’re living for the spaces in-between The ghost and the gear and the high-speed dream It’s the breath in the lungs, it’s the light on the sea It’s the part of the road that’ll always be free [Outro] The spaces in-between... Just let it roll... [Final shimmering pedal steel note rings out for 10 seconds] [End]
