Smoking Car

I've stolen the distance from a thousand stars Middle of nowhere like a smoking car I'm checking my map, I think I've gone too far Holding my light up wondering where you are I saw a dying bird just laying on the ground Saw his mind made up too late to make a sound Now his suffering's gone, it doesn't hang around My love is a sadness I cannot contain I would give everything up for anything Tonight I will dream over a bright blue star Holding the light up wondering where you are I'm trying hard to be a better man But I often need something to take my hand Just something small like a grain of sand I've borrowed the presage from a burning sun I'd carry it onward, but it weighs a ton The side of the highway in my smoking car Holding my light up wondering where you are It isn't hard to see it all just disappear See it flickering before it's never there Call a friend to see if you can shed a tear My heart is a boulder, it can break down walls Demolish your castle when you get the call I'm checking my map, I know I've gone too far Turning my light off, wondering where you are
