Another 45 Miles

Golden Earrings

Here comes the night


A veil over the light


In the distance some shadows of the clouds in the sky


I’ve got to get home, to my child, my wife


Here comes the night


I’m scared to death, got to get me a ride


It looks like the road is swallowing me up


Gotta hurry home, don’t dare to look back


Blueville is straight ahead


Another 45 miles to go


Another 45 miles before I’m home


I wish i could pay the sun to run


Then I had some more time, with my wife, my son


Clouds in the sky


Gathering for a fight


Chasing their prey, till it can’t go on


I mend my pace, ‘cos my bride is waiting home
