The highway stretches out in black There is no way of turning back The wipers beat a steady time Across the windshield, through the grime A ghost is sitting by your side Taking a quiet, midnight ride Let the water wash the glass Watch the lonely headlights pass We are drifting through the rain Like a shadow on the pane Just a shadow on the pane The radio is humming low A static song from long ago The desert drinks the falling sky As every hollow town goes by You grip the wheel and hold your breath A silent waltz with sleep and death Let the water wash the glass Watch the lonely headlights pass We are drifting through the rain Like a shadow on the pane Just a shadow on the pane The storm will never really end It just becomes your only friend The engine purrs, the tires hiss Into the watery abyss No destination, no return Just watching all the streetlights burn Let the water wash the glass Watch the lonely headlights pass We are drifting through the rain Like a shadow on the pane Just a shadow on the pane
