Lyrics
Dawn creeps over the desert floor Pink on the motel door You hand me coffee in a paper cup Steam curls up, the world wakes up Dust on the dashboard, gold on the glass Radio low, let the slow miles pass No plan today, no place to be Just your hand and the road with me Sunrise over the salt flats, coffee warm Your jacket round me, safe from the storm Mile by mile, we're moving slow Light on the horizon, glow, glow, glow Sunrise over the salt flats, you and me Nothing else I'd rather see White ground stretching like a sheet Sky so wide it makes us feel small and sweet We stop the car just to watch it rise Your head on my shoulder, closing your eyes Birds on the wire, a lizard on the stone Nobody out here but us alone No plan today, no place to be Just your hand and the road with me Sunrise over the salt flats, coffee warm Your jacket round me, safe from the storm Mile by mile, we're moving slow Light on the horizon, glow, glow, glow Sunrise over the salt flats, you and me Nothing else I'd rather see Maybe home is not a place Maybe home is your quiet face In the morning light, in the morning light Sunrise over the salt flats, coffee warm Your jacket round me, safe from the storm Mile by mile, we're moving slow Light on the horizon, glow, glow, glow Sunrise over the salt flats, you and me Nothing else I'd rather see Glow, glow, glow Coffee warm, morning slow
