When the Highway Ends

miles and miles of road won't take this pain away
there's a line to be drawn in the sand
but you know I'll never draw it while you're still upon the earth
I will hold on to a moment for what it might be worth

and time and time again I tuck my soul away
there's a line to be drawn in the sand
but you know I'll never draw it while there's still a breath in me
I will hold on to a nightmare if it tries to set me free

and when the highway ends I'll still be running
when the morning comes I'll still be dreaming
and when my arms are old they will still bind you
when my eyes are blind they will find you
