|
On an open stretch of freeway |
|
Underneath the canvas clouds |
|
The blackness after evening |
|
Swallowed everything around |
|
But just up head on the open horizon |
|
We caught the faintest glow |
|
And as we drew near |
|
it seemed so clear that the dark would have to go |
|
In the center of the city |
|
Comes the illusion of the day |
|
When everything looks pretty |
|
It's easy to think you've found the way |
|
But it's all just a big masquerade |
|
It was thirty-six months earlier |
|
On that same old lonesome road |
|
And that same old darkness lingered |
|
Just before the lightning show |
|
And the thunder cracked down |
|
And His lightning conquered everything around |
|
That dark had to flee |
|
Now the light of the little town |
|
Was as dark as the night compared tothe light |
