Lyrics
The buses sleep in a long wet row Headlights dim and windows low Rain on the roofs like a hundred drums Waiting for the day to come Puddles hold the orange lamps Painted lines and painted stamps Every route is tucked away Dreaming of another day Rest now, wheels, rest now, road Lay down every heavy load The rain will keep the watch tonight Till the morning brings the light A driver's coat on a driver's seat A thermos cooling by the heat Somewhere a thousand stops are still Sleeping on the quiet hill Rest now, wheels, rest now, road Lay down every heavy load The rain will keep the watch tonight Till the morning brings the light All the places we have been All the doors we have walked in Folded up and parked for sleep Silver rain, and promises to keep Rest now, wheels, rest now, road Lay down every heavy load The rain will keep the watch tonight Till the morning brings the light Till the morning brings the light
