The Driver Lyrics

South of Market, and the rain came falling down

As the driver shifted into higher gear

Like a nightmare come to life leaving her had always

Been his greatest fear

He tried to tell her how someday the time would come

When she lied and said that she had always known

He saw the water in her eyes, he felt the sadness in her heart

When he left town

Ten feet over concrete, she's waiting

Shattered around her, he's never coming home

As time grinds down above the ground

Just barely out of reach and falling faster

Lights up ahead began to drift into his lane

Far to late he turned and barreled off the road

Through the glass like it was paper,

The driver parted company with earth

There was nothing in the air but quiet calm

As he soared over the wreckage far below

When the driver closed his eyes he saw the woman he had loved

And let her go

Ten feet over concrete, she's waiting

Shattered around her, he's never coming home

As time grinds down above the ground

Just barely out of reach and falling faster
