Aztec Two-step Highway Song
The gate was closing, the sun was folding
Her hand was waving me good-bye
Remember me to the highway signs
The colored lights and the highway signs
Remember me to my friends so kind
Tell them I am fine
The night had fallen, the moon was calling
A whippoorwill sang out its song
There is no need for you to go
Like the seeds the wind would blow
It is best now that the time moves slow
You know someday she’ll know
But today is nearly over
It’s nearly over now, it’s nearly gone
And tomorrow doesn’t matter now
‘Cause nothing matters now, except the dawn
The gate left open the sun had woken
The dew left footprints to my door
She walked in slowly her image holy
She knelt beside me on the floor
I remembered you to the highway signs
The colored lights and the highway lines
I said hello to your friends so kind
And told them you were fine
But today is nearly over
It’s nearly over now, it’s nearly gone
And tomorrow doesn’t matter now
‘Cause nothing matters now, except the dawn
