From the recording The Weight Of All This Hope
Lyrics
Here I am splitting the time in between us
Infinitely in half
Does it make you laugh
When I say things like that?
Well if you’re smiling now
I wouldn’t know
Cause you’re still a ways out of view
Maybe someday you’ll pass through
And throw a coin in my hat
Somehow people get where they’re trying to go
But this desert mirage is always a few miles down the road
Highway headlights passing night after night
Think of an arrow just caught in flight
Well here I am splitting the distance between us
Infinitely in half
Keep thinking it’s the last
Time that I’ll try
The ocean horizon fades into blue
Like the future fades into the night
Praying he shows us some light
Just enough to get by
Somehow people get where they’re trying to go
But this desert mirage is always a few miles down the road
Highway headlights passing night after night
Think of an arrow just caught in flight
I swear I’ve driven past this same county road before
The only change is the weather and the skin on these bones
The skin on these bones
Somehow people get where they’re trying to go
But this desert mirage is always a few miles down the road
Highway headlights passing night after night
Think of an arrow just caught in flight
