BLUE RIDE HOME

Comes a night to ride without you

Making time to find you near the train

Station lights burn yellow

Yellow marigolds lay soaking in the rain, blue rain

The steam that holds my memories

Is rising to the lights and calls your name

I saw a ...

Clear star, you are, higher than I cared to go

You've come and gone again

I took a hard right, tonight, higher than you'll ever know

Taking a blue ride, a blue ride home

Said in time your memory fades

Washes out like hours in the rain, 

And yellow burn the station lights

Marigolds lay soaking in the rain, blue rain

The darkest hour's the wordless hour

You're standing there and words get in the way

CHORUS

Picture late, an empty station

Headlights staring straight into the rain,

And I turned on my radio

The car is filled with marigolds, and rain, blue rain

And time is just a wave of flowers

Flowers waving, flowers waving

There goes a...

Cold star, you are, higher than I cared to go

Come and gone again

I took a hard right, moonlight, higher than you'll ever know

Taking a blue ride, taking a blue ride home
