Far End of the Night

Buddy some Topeka night
When its just you and the road
Seen no tailights there for miles
And nothin much but static on the radioWasnt lookin to the left
Wasnt lookin to the right
Just kept walking like Virginia to the surf
Towards the far end of the nightTime hangs like a noose
Before me
Time stills to a crawl
Grinds so slowlyHeard my own beloved cry
I heard my one beloved moan
Whats the use in all the ache we must endure
I had no good reason whyTime hangs like a noose
Before me
Time stills to a crawl
Grinds so slowlyNot a rail to grasp ahold
Nor a savior there beside
Juat kept a walkin like Virginia to the surf
Towards the far end of the nightTime hangs like a noose
Before me
Time stills to a crawl
Grinds so slowly
And time hangs like a noose
Around me
