I Lost You

Drive on, drive on the highway bright and long

The river's overflowing, the house's burning down

Drive on, drive on the engine's on the lawn

We kiss goodbye and drink up some hours before the dawn

We kiss goodbye and drank 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

A trumpet and a trombone still echoing in the hall

And bells ringing out at dawn

So hang onto me, hang onto me

The world's going round and time's coming round

The headlights are swinging 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

I waited a long time, oh 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
