Black Road

by morgan mcnabb

Thought I was a million miles above but I haven’t moved an inch still standing in our tracks I touch your arms see them turning the wheel bringing me back home oh, no, It’ll never feel right seeing your sad, dark eyes darting away from mine

As soon as I turn my head you’ll be gone so, I’ll close my eyes and I’ll see

The way we danced in a dark kitchen swaying, dreaming of the sea until the music stops and we do too waiting, wanting to feel again

As soon as I turn my head you’ll be gone so, I’ll close my eyes and I’ll hear

The song we sang travelling on a dark road carrying every chord, every verse until the sun rises and we float away

As soon as I turn my head you’ll be gone so, I’ll close my eyes and I’ll believe

The words we spoke sitting in a garage blinded by the lamp speech and body splitting apart letting go forever because we’re seen we can see

Eyes open up and I lose it all I don’t feel a thing

I don’t feel a thing
