HIGHWAY SONG The gate was closing, the sun was folding Her hand was waving me good-bye My door held open, my shadow broken A voice returned a short reply Remember me to the highway signs The colored lights and the highway lines Remember me to my friends so kind And tell them I am fine
The night had fallen, the moon was calling A whip-poor-will 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 now It’s nearly over now, it’s nearly gone 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 Chorus *Capo on 2nd fret
