Streetlights Count Me Home
“The very first thing I finished on the organist's synth. It's just a coast road, a open window and a slow arpeggio, and it still tells you who I am.”

Lyrics
Coast road empty, window down Salt wind in the dashboard light Radio fades to a ghost of a town I'm driving out of the night Your jacket still on the passenger seat Smelling like the last of June The tape runs slow, the tape runs sweet Humming an unfinished tune Mile by mile, I'm letting go Mile by mile, but not so slow Streetlights count me home One by one, amber and gone Streetlights count me home I was never meant to drive alone Streetlights count me home Lighthouse blinks across the bay Slow as a pulse, patient and low I rehearse the things I'd say Then the engine tells me no Gas station glow, a empty lot Neon humming overhead I buy a coffee I don't want Just to hear what you once said Mile by mile, I'm letting go Mile by mile, but not so slow Streetlights count me home One by one, amber and gone Streetlights count me home I was never meant to drive alone Streetlights count me home Maybe the road is a kind of letter Written in white lines and rain Maybe the dark is a little better When it knows your name Streetlights count me home One by one, amber and gone Streetlights count me home I was never meant to drive alone Streetlights count me home Count me home Count me home
