Last Dream Of You

We took the back roads,
As the day was fading,
Not knowing where we’re going,
It didn’t matter anyway.

The daylight battles bravely,
But it flickers then fades,
Spilling into each crevice,
Then slips silently away.

The headlights keeping watch,
Tell their stories to the night,
Cutting tunnels through the darkness,
As we drive this road tonight.

Silhouettes in the distance,
Spring to life as they draw near,
Dancing once just for us,
Before they disappear.

This is to be our last road,
You’re leaving me tonight,
But I’m not ready for goodbye,
Please stay just one more night.

Our soundtrack is playing,
You’re wrapped up safe and warm,
I look for one last perfect smile,
As your favourite song comes on.

One hand on the wheel,
The other clinging onto you,
But I can feel you leaving me,
And there’s nothing I can do.

I try to hold you tighter,
But you start to drift away,
We are all out of forevers,
But there’s still much more to say.

Welling eyes blur the white lines,
I’m lost, I’m cold, I’m numb,
The guideposts lost in the haze,
And our journey is almost done.

Seconds stretched to hours,
As I relive this life,
Perfectly edited stories,
For my beautiful wife.

Thank you for your last moments,
Thank you for these memories,
Our time cut short,
But it was everything to me.

We’ve said our last goodbye,
You’ve gone and I have too,
I can finally close my eyes,
One last dream of you.

We’ve said our last goodbye,
You’ve gone and I have too,
I can finally close my eyes,
One last dream of you.

Last dream of you.
