Ten Year Night

This is my new favorite song..... It's called Ten Year Night by Lucy Kaplansky. It's soooo pretty.



There is no one else around
The road is quiet, the only sound
Is wind that sounds like cars that sound like breathing

The desert air is hot and dry
Two lanes weaving earth and sky
The stars are all that's keeping time 'til morning

And I turn and look beside me
And you're sleeping like a baby
And you haven't heard a word that I've been saying

And the way you look tonight
Fast asleep in the dashboard light
Well I can't speak
That's how I feel

Open your eyes and look at me, and look at me
Open your eyes and look at me'
Cause I have and hold this love for you
Before this ten year night is through
I'm telling you
Take it from me
Take it from me

We're ten years older, I know we are
Than the night we met in that downtown bar
You thought I was some kind of star
That's what you saidI felt your skin, I felt the heat
As you pulled me out into the street
And you kissed me there 'til I was weak'
Cause I asked you to

And later on on your kitchen floor
Two flights above the grocery store
I felt things I never felt before, and I still do

Open your eyes and look at me, and look at me
Open your eyes and look at me'
Cause I have and hold this love for you
Before this ten year night is through
I'm telling you
Take it from me
Take it from me

Going eighty on the highway
We're all rushing somewhere
But the way I feel tonight
It's like I'm already there

Open your eyes and look at me, and look at me
Open your eyes and look at me'
Cause I have and hold this love for you
Before this ten year night is through
I'm telling you
Take it from me
Take it from me
