Midnight on Raton-Eliza Gilkyson

[00:14.06]Sitting in a motel on the outskirts of Raton [00:21.17]How the years have flown [00:24.30]Since Townes passed through these hills alone [00:28.40]I got someone who loves me [00:31.90]But it's too late to phone [00:35.64]I wanna ride this road forever [00:40.72]And I'm dying to go home [00:45.24] [01:00.97]Out there on the interstate the hurryin' of the cars [01:08.52]High above room 28 the swirling of the stars [01:15.40]And I draw the vinyl curtains like a veil across my skin [01:24.61]I turn the bedside lamp down [01:27.99]And I let my shadows in [01:32.53] [01:33.22]Cause I feel so full and so empty handed [01:40.17]In a world so cruel I don't think I understand it [01:47.42]Are we still the fools [01:51.10]Who don't know right from wrong [01:56.50]Here at midnight on Raton? [02:03.13] [02:18.68]I find a crumpled napkin and I fumble for a pen [02:25.38]Chase a fleeting moment like it was my long lost friend [02:32.76]And I curl up 'neath the blankets and dream until the dawn [02:41.52]But come morning I'll be through these hills and gone [02:48.76]Come morning I'll be through these hills and gone [02:55.46]
