Crossing into a new county

A new country marked by strange houses and blurry people

Blurred and blurring, passing by

And not existing two red lights later

She had a silly dream

A dream of new pillows

Something surely attainable

And this rest was fat with promises

She had a silly dream

And I promised her new pillows

Traveling light through the dark of night

Carrying every unspoken regret, another life left behind

Behind but gaining, together

We’re headed for some kind of end and that end we’ll call “home”

She had a silly dream

A dream of new pillows

Something nearly containable

And this rest was bursting with promises

She had a silly dream

She believes

She needs to believe

Things’ll be better

Somewhere else

Tonight I’ll do the driving

Blind trust, I shut my eyes

Shut my eyes and drive

Dreaming of new pillows
