POTF - Signs of Life - Late Goodbye

In our headlights, staring, bleak, beer cans, deer's eyes.
On the asphalt, underneath, our crushed plans and my lies.
Lonely street signs, powerlines, they keep on flashing, flashing by flashing

and we keep driving into the night,
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
and we keep driving into the night.
It's a late goodbye

Your breath hot upon my cheek, and we crossed, that line.
You made me strong when I was feeling weak, and we crossed, that one time,
screaming stop signs, staring wild eyes, keep on flashing, flashing by flashing

and we keep driving into the night,
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
and we keep driving into the night.
It's a late goodbye

The devil grins from ear to ear when he sees the hand he's dealt us.
Points at your flaming hair, and then we're playing hide and seek
I can't breathe easy here, less our trail's gone cold behind us
till' in the John Mirra you stare at yourself grown old and weak

and we keep driving into the night,
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
and we keep driving into the night,
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye

and we keep driving into the night,
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye

and we keep driving into the night,
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye

and we keep driving into the night,
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
and we keep driving into the night,

Based on a poem by Sam Lake
