another hour deeper in the night another mile farther down the road a man can drive as hard as he can drive and never get as far as his heart was meant to go sometimes when you look up in the sky you think we might be closer than you know another tune forms in my head more harmonies more empty words oh i could play these songs til i was dead and never approach the sound that i once heard i remember when i was just a kid listening in the sky believing that the wind would stir and i know the river is deep i found out that the currents are tricky and i know the river is wide and oh the currents are strong and i may lose every dream i dreamt that i could carry with me but i have failed so many times and you ve never let me fall down alone maybe she could come to wichita and maybe we could borrow beaker s bike we d let the road wind tie our hair in knots let the speed and the freedom untangle the lies maybe fear can vanish before love oh god don t let this love be denied cause i know the river is deep i found out that the currents are tricky and i know that the river is wide and oh the currents are strong and i could lose every dream i dreamt that i could carry with me oh but i will reach the other side please don t let me have to wait too long another hour deeper in the night another mile farther down the road we could be closer than you know
