Rainy Night Cab, Backseat Slow Dance

Lyrics

Rain on the roof of a yellow cab
Wipers keeping time to the radio
You in the backseat, me by your side
Nowhere to be and nowhere to go

The driver turns it down
And the whole world gets small

So dance with me slow in the backseat tonight
With the city all blurry and the rain running bright
Windows all fogged up, nobody knows
Where the road goes, where the road goes
Dance with me slow in the backseat tonight
Till the morning comes up and it all turns light

Driver hums along with a tune from the sixties
Eyes in the mirror, a grin, then away
He says he's driven a thousand lovers
And not one of them wanted to end the day

The driver turns it down
And the whole world gets small

So dance with me slow in the backseat tonight
With the city all blurry and the rain running bright
Windows all fogged up, nobody knows
Where the road goes, where the road goes
Dance with me slow in the backseat tonight
Till the morning comes up and it all turns light

We circle the block a third time round
He says the meter's on me, that's fine
Your hand in my hand and your laugh in my ear
And I'd pay for the night, any time

Oh, the streetlights bloom like flowers
In the glass, in the rain
And we're two little souls in a moving room
Where nothing is ever the same

So dance with me slow in the backseat tonight
With the city all blurry and the rain running bright
Windows all fogged up, nobody knows
Where the road goes, where the road goes
Dance with me slow in the backseat tonight
Till the morning comes up and it all turns light

Where the road goes, where the road goes
Dance with me slow, dance with me slow
