Lyrics:Jim Steinman Music:Jim Steinman Arranger:Jim Steinman | |
The skies were pure and the fields were green | |
And the sun was brighter than it's ever been | |
When I grew up with my best friend Kenny | |
We were close as any brothers than you ever knew | |
It was always summer and the future called | |
We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all | |
And there was so much left to dream and so much time to make it real | |
But I can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone | |
They said he crashed and burned | |
I know I'll never learn why any boy should die so young | |
We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune | |
We got in trouble but we sure got around | |
There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark | |
I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground | |
But it was long ago and it was far away, oh God it seems so very far | |
And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car | |
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are | |
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are | |
And when the sun descended and the night arose | |
I heard my father cursing everyone he knows | |
He was dangerous and drunk and defeated | |
And corroded by failure and envy and hate | |
There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze | |
Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees | |
And my father's eyes were blank as he hit me again and again and again | |
I know I still believe he'd never let me leave, I had to run away alone | |
So many threats and fears, so many wasted years before my life became my own | |
And though the nightmares should be over | |
Some of the terrors are still intact | |
I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice | |
And then he grabs me from behind and then he pulls me back | |
There was a beauty living on the edge of town | |
And she always put the top up and the hammer down | |
And she taught me everything I'll ever know | |
About the mystery and the muscle of love | |
The stars would glimmer and the moon would glow | |
I'm in the back seat with my Julie like a Romeo | |
And the signs along the highway all said, Caution! Kids At Play! | |
Those were the rights of spring and we did everything | |
There was salvation every night | |
We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn | |
But everything we tried was right | |
She used her body just like a bandage | |
She used my body just like a wound | |
I'll probably never know where she disappeared | |
But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now | |
Just like an angel rising up from a tomb | |
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are | |
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are | |
She used her body just like a bandage | |
She used my body just like a wound | |
I'll probably never know where she disappeared | |
But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now |
