Baldpate Driver

Bracing for the impact
When my eyes hit the rearview
God is in the picture again
Floating through the ether
To crash down like the leaves do
We have time
But not enough to breathe

And a year goes by
Just as silent as a tear
On a face you hide
Keep chasing heaven
I'm begging for the ending
Life escaping serenade
Elevating in the driveway
Everything will be alright
Keep calm as the breaks give
Their blessing again and again
Like your eyes do
To remind you
That existence is the resource
How come you can't feel this anymore?

Lean in close
I'm not there
Look at the road
We're not there
