Not Turn Away

All I can see are blurs of red and yellow through the raindrops on my windshield nothing is clear to me but it seems nobody’s moving is it an accident or just me nowhere to go I hope that you will follow me ‘cause it’s you that I’ve been missing I hope that you were listening when I said that you could be the only one and what did I say to make you doubt me and after that night when you began to come around what could I have done to make you stay not turn away the windshield wipers screech me back to consciousness it seems that it’s stopped raining the sky has cleared up the southern stars are shining the thought of you has got me blinded the radio plays a story of redemption drowns out the leaking tire’s hissing I hope that you were listening when I said that you could be the only one what did I say to make you doubt me and after that night when you began to come around what could I have done to make you stay not turn away I want to be the light the light in your eyes every smile and I want to be the one who loves you I got a feeling inside you know it makes me feel like dying ‘cause you know I’m always thinking of you I remember a time looking down that long road it was you and me and mystery we’d go for a ride drink a toast to happy endings but now the bottle’s dry and empty now that you’re gone never to return again everything we had was history hope that you are listening when I say I have found my only one and nothing I could say would make her doubt me and every night the sun descends into the ground and she’s the only one I want to stay and not turn away.
