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
