I Lost You

Drive on, drive on
The highway bright and long
The river's overflowing
The houses burning down

Drive on, drive on
The engines hum along
We kiss goodbye and drink up
Some hours before the dawn
We kiss goodbye and drink up
I'll miss you when you're gone

So throw me a line, throw me a line
My heart's underneath, aside on our feet
The windows are shaking and so are my bones
The world's going 'round, throw me a rope

The trumpet and a trombone
Still echoing in the hall
And bells rang out at dawn

So hang onto me, hang onto me
The world's going 'round
And time's cutting out
The headlights are swingin' all over the lawn
So throw me a rope, throw me a rope

I knew you when I was young
The loveliest girl in town
I wish you were still around (hey)

I waited a long time
All for you
I waited a long time
I lost you
I was sleeping in the backseat
When I got home
I was finally reminded
I lost you
