Long Drives

I built a room for you

In the back of my mind

Where the ravenous wolves

And the ghosts I know reside

You were amazing

You were always on my mind

We were secrets to keep

And crows buried side by side

But we tasted a kiss

That was sent from below

It was cool in the night

I was old as a stone

In the back of a car

With a child at heart

Who suddenly showed your their teeth

And you said I'm alright

Baby I don't mind

I'll get on just fine

On them long long drives

I keep the letter you wrote

Before the devil came into the picture

Says I got you now

Wrapped around my finger

And into the mystic

We were blue and outrageous

And every night

I would race the moon and fall for you

But you ache for drug that will never be enough

You're never gonna feel like when it first picked you up

When they drove you around

Gave you poweder and flowers

Until the thrill was gone

But said I'm alright

Baby I don't mind

I'll get on just fine

On them long long drives

Last night I remember being seventeen

I met a girl with a taste for the world

And whisky and rights of spring

Spent every night with cassettes that she liked

In a car that I borrowed a lot

I could never get her to believe

But you said I'm alright

Baby I don't mind

I'll get on just fine

On them long long drives

Because I'm alright

Baby I don't mind

I'll get on just fine

On them long long drives

Without you

Without you

Without you

Drives without you
