Lyrics
Row of taxis, engines low Meter off and nowhere to go Drivers sharing tea and rain Waiting for the next light to change Windshield wipers, slow and steady Radio hum, the seat is ready Stories told in the half-light glow Of the places that they know Where to, friend, where to I'll take you slow, I'll see you through Streetlights blur and the city sleeps Quiet roads and the promise it keeps A stranger knocks, a tired smile We drive without a hurry, mile by mile Rain on the roof, a gentle drum Soon enough, the morning comes Where to, friend, where to I'll take you slow, I'll see you through Streetlights blur and the city sleeps Quiet roads and the promise it keeps Every door I open wide Someone's tired, someone's inside I carry them to where they're from Safe and warm and nearly home Where to, friend, where to I'll take you slow, I'll see you through Streetlights blur and the city sleeps Quiet roads and the promise it keeps Where to, friend, where to I'll take you slow, I'll see you through
