Please come with me, climb into my car
It's a long weary way to go home
I've got to get there, got to drive all night
And I don't want to do it alone

Got to drive all night, it's a long way home
And a friend would surely brighten the way
We can watch for the light of the dawn as it comes
And together we'll call out the day

I've been driving at night for most of my life
Down a black silent ribbon of road
Trying to make sense of the sad things I've seen
And to find my way in from the cold

There are houses I've passed with the windows aglow
And I'm looking inside for a clue
But I only catch glimpses of who they might be
Just strangers and travellers too

Please come with me, I need you to talk to
We can each take a turn at the wheel
We can laugh about nothing and sing up the morning
And we'll chase off the shadows that steal
