Milky Way

As soon as you set on your way I wait by the window for you The night is all stars, and the Milky Way path Is rushing and shimmering through I hear in the silence your drive You’re revving the engine to move In every gear-jerk and blast of the horn Is my boundless, unearthly love The headlights are mine, all the highway lights shine The dust on my wheels as I go Just wait for me, love, send a text or a line In verses or simple prose The headlights are mine, all the highway lights shine The dust on my wheels as I go Just wait for me, love, send a text or a line In verses or simple prose You’re hauling the loads in the dead of the night Where blizzards are moaning and blowing You’re my hero in every hard struggle and fight Through all of the trials, you’re going I know that the journey is heavy and long But never will you be defeated The run is a battle, then back where you belong By family, warmly you’re greeted The headlights are mine, all the highway lights shine The dust on my wheels as I go Just wait for me, love, send a text or a line In verses or simple prose The headlights are mine, all the highway lights shine The dust on my wheels as I go Just wait for me, love, send a text or a line In verses or simple prose I’m counting the hours 'til we meet I wait by the window for you The fine on the table is bitter, not sweet But warms up my heart, it is true "I’m almost back home," you whisper Your voice is a soft, loving sound May stars lead your way as the night air gets crisper And headlights melt gloom from the ground The headlights are mine, all the highway lights shine The dust on my wheels as I go Just wait for me, love, send a text or a line In verses or simple prose The headlights are mine, all the highway lights shine The dust on my wheels as I go Just wait for me, love, send a text or a line In verses or simple prose No distance can break us apart My love has grown stronger than ever Each call is a breath of life to my heart Flying through miles forever I know you’re my hero, my own I remember with eyes closed tight The moment you came, and my heart Became yours for the rest of my life The headlights are mine, all the highway lights shine The dust on my wheels as I go Just wait for me, love, send a text or a line In verses or simple prose The headlights are mine, all the highway lights shine The dust on my wheels as I go Just wait for me, love, send a text or a line In verses or simple prose
