Drive Darling - Madeline Juno

You close the door and start the motor

I roll the window down

I raise my hand and wave goodbye

To neighborhood queens and clowns

And children in the front yard

They hide and seek and laugh

I can almost hear you thinking

How could these days go by so fast?

And the rearview could picture what we leave behind

Drive darling, drive darling, drive darling

Drive, darling drive

A silent conversation

No words 'cause there’s no need

We let the tapes mix up the years and

Press repeat and press repeat

The trunk is filled with records

And books and tears and clothes

I’m smiling on the surface

I’m scared as hell below

And the rearview could picture what we leave behind

Drive darling, drive darling, drive darling

Drive, darling drive

Good morning freedom, goodnight lullabies

Drive darling, drive darling, drive darling

Drive, darling drive, drive

And when we arrive

The hardest of goodbyes

You will dry my eyes somehow

You’re always by my side

The one who hurts my kind

And watched over all my thoughts

And the rearview could picture what we leave behind

Drive darling, drive darling, drive darling

Drive, darling drive
