The Road

Darling what's your name and
can you hear me
Tell me why you're out so late alone
The diamonds sparkle
in your face I hold you
The gravel glistens
black and red below
Hollow you drift into the night
Hollow girl
When I close my eyes
I see you
When I close my eyes
you're here
In the dead of the night
I feel you
When I open my eyes
you disappear
The metal wraps
itself around your bones
And when it penetrates you
it feels cold
As you were born
you leave this
world alone
A stranger on an unfamiliar road
The droning engine sings
your Hallelujah
The broken headlamp lights
your path to God
Hollow you drift into the light
Hollow girl
But when I close my eyes
I see you
When I close my eyes
you're here
In the dead of the night
I feel you
When I open my eyes
you disappear
